Camillian Social Center receives visit from old friends
Long time friends and ex-residents of Thailand recently returned for a short vacation at the Camillian Social Center, Rayong. Fr. Giovanni and all the children were happy to see them again after two yearsJohan de Graauw and Gerard Lubbers have never forgotten the children they cared for when they lived here. It is their legacy that the children of the Camillian Center have so many sponsors and people that have put in place so many activities for them, such as the last swimming pool. They are the two people who have launched so many wonderful expressions of generosity from people who visit this center.
When Johan and Gerard went back to live in Holland they decided to continue their work on behalf of the center in Amsterdam. They are the founder members of the “Foundation Friends of the Camillian Social Center Nederland” there. In the first 4 months they raised 225,000 baht for the center, which was presented too Fr. Giovanni during Easter and Songkran.
Since they have been here they have been hosted by their friend Geoffrey Hughes, a large fund raiser for the Center, and they voluntarily worked in all three sections of the center (Garden of Eden, CSC and the independent living center).
They would personally like to thank all their friends and sponsors for the opportunity to be in Thailand again to help these poor people suffering with HIV, and promise that their work will continue when back in Holland
