ASIA/THAILAND - Home for disabled children run by Camillians organizes yearly Day for Children
Bangkok (Agenzia Fides) – Every second Saturday in January, Thailand celebrates the "Day for Children". This year, the day was January 9, and the St. Camillus Foundation of Thailand and the Lat Krabang Home for Disabled Children, a home for disabled children run by the Camillian Religious Order, in collaboration with the Thai Red Cross, has organized many activities for children. On this occasion, the children of the Kevorkian Foundation also joined the children from the community center adjacent to the Camillian Center. In addition to the various organized games, prizes, and food available to all children, each of them made a little performance. In the month of January, 4 new children with mental disorders, physical, and multiple disabilities were taken in to the home. Thanks to several volunteers, the children went to see a movie and had dinner outside. In addition, a group of students from Rungsit University made a video on the lives of children living within the House of Camillians, to use as publicity for the Center. It features the story of a blind child who can play the guitar, bringing out the abilities of disabled children. Also, some scenes were shot in the physiotherapy room and in the activities and study halls, where the children carry out their daily activities. In the activities room, there are children who have problems with mental development and autism engaged in planting bean seeds, as well as drawing and painting. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 8/2/2010)
