It was a special day for the HDF Mercy Centre in Bangkok: the Open House at Mercy Farm. The Mercy Farm provides a home and community for boys, offering them a safe environment where they can grow up together, learn responsibility and experience nature and animals first-hand — something many children from Bangkok’s largest poverty area, Klong Toey, would otherwise never have access to.

We, the Thai.GER Supporters Bangkok, were honoured to be invited by Prawina, John and the Mercy Centre team. Founder Father Joseph Maier addressed the many guests, sharing reflections on decades of dedicated work for families in Klong Toey and reminding us why this mission remains so important today.

✨ A very special highlight: the children from the Romklao Preschool performed a joyful dance they had prepared for the occasion. Christian and Rüdiger had the honour of presenting small gifts to the children, and the ongoing engagement of the Thai.GER Supporters was introduced to the guests. 🙏

The Romklao Preschool children are especially close to our hearts. ⚽ Through the proceeds of the annual Thai.GER Charity Tournaments, a significant portion of the funding required to operate the preschool each year is made possible. This long-standing partnership is built on trust, continuity and shared responsibility.

Open House at Mercy Farm was a powerful reminder that sustainable support is not about single events — it is about long-term relationships.
