July: Mercy Newsletter

We are delighted to share with you some of the latest charity news and joyful moments from the Mercy Centre. In recent weeks, we have celebrated important milestones, including our students’ graduations: marking a meaningful new step in their lives as they move forward with confidence and hope. Alongside these achievements, we enjoyed special occasions such as Children’s Day and time spent together at Mercy Farm, where our children could learn, play, and grow in a caring environment. These moments reflect not only the strength and spirit of our children, but also the support of our dedicated staff, volunteers, and friends. We are deeply grateful for your continued kindness and generosity. Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us create opportunities for every child to thrive. Here is the summary of what happened in March:

Thai.GER Charity Football Tournament 2026

The Thai.GER Charity Football Tournament 2026 was a great success, bringing together football, community, and generosity. Highlights included the Kids Charity Run, Port FC winning the U10 category, the first-ever women’s tournament won by Venus FC, and a special dance performance by children from the Mercy Centre. The German Allstars won the Ambassadors Cup after an exciting final. Thank you to all players, volunteers, sponsors, and guests for making this event possible.

Visit from the Lloyd George Foundation

We were honoured to welcome Mr. Robert Lloyd George and Mr. Robert Salamon to Janusz Korczak School. Students aged 9–15 shared their dreams and took part in open conversations, feeling heard and encouraged. Alongside academic learning, our students develop life skills through creative and practical activities that prepare them for the future. With nearly 20 years of support, the Lloyd George Foundation has had a lasting impact on our children’s lives. We are deeply grateful for this continued partnership.

Sea of Hearts, City of Angels

The children of the Mercy Centre were invited on a magical journey with musician Todd Tongdee. Over the course of the Sea of Hearts- City of Angels“ workshop, they spent time together making music, sharing stories, and exploring ideas through play. The children shaped the space in their own way. They brought their voices, their imagination, their curiosity, and their different ways of seeing the world. What emerged was something open and alive: sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, always shared.

Mercy Kidergarden Graduation

Our preschool was filled with joy, creativity, and learning. Children’s Day brought laughter and daily activities which supported growing confidence and curiosity. A special highlight was the graduation of our preschoolers, celebrating their achievements and next steps. At the Mercy Centre, we were proud to celebrate the graduation of our 17. preschools across Bangkok. Surrounded by teachers and parents, the children marked an important first milestone in their educational journey. Though a small ceremony, it represents the beginning of big dreams and the transformative power of education. We are grateful to Father Meyer for presenting the certificates and encouraging the children on this special day.

Children Day at Our Preschool

Children’s Day is a special occasion dedicated to celebrating children, their joy, and their right to grow up safe, happy, and loved. At our preschool, the day was filled with games, learning activities, music, dancing, and play. The Mercy Centre came alive with laughter, energy, and smiling faces. Every activity was designed to celebrate childhood and allow children to simply be children. Moments like these remind us why our work matters. We sincerely thank all supporters, donors, and friends of the Mercy Centre whose generosity made this joyful celebration possible.

Environmental Learning with DKSH

Visit from COMO Metropolitan Bangkok

We would like to thank COMO Metropolitan Bangkok for visiting Romklao Kindergarten and providing both a delicious meal and an engaging learning experience. The children learned about waste management and recycling in a fun, accessible way and enjoyed team sports activities that filled the day with smiles and laughter. This visit supported environmental awareness, teamwork, and joyful learning.

Open Heart Open House

For the first time, we welcomed friends and supporters to an Open House at Mercy Farm: an opportunity to share our work and spend time together as a community. We are thankful to everyone who joined us, and to our staff and volunteers who made the day possible. For many, it was their first time at the farm, where they met the community and gained a closer understanding of our work. We also shared our plan to build a better, safe home for the boys who live at Mercy Farm, which is an important step for their future. Above all, the day was about the children, reminding them that they are loved, supported and not alone as they grow.

Graduation Sponsorship

We are proud to share the success of twins who have been part of the Mercy Centre since preschool. Supported by Mercy scholarships, they completed university studies in Business Administration and are now employed. Their journey highlights the long-term impact of education and sustained support.

Fire at Patamai Community

A recent fire in the Patamai community in Khlong Toei has left many families facing significant loss. Father Meyer spent time with those affected, listening to their concerns and offering support during this difficult moment. While homes and belongings were lost, the strength of hope, compassion, and community remains. From these challenges, a new beginning can emerge.

Staff Party

We came together to celebrate and thank the incredible staff and volunteers who are at the heart of the Mercy Centre. Their dedication, compassion, and daily commitment make our work possible and touch the lives of so many in the community. The gathering was a chance to share moments of joy and recognize the important role each person plays. We are deeply grateful for their continued support and for the spirit of care they bring to everything they do.

Shangri-La Bangkok

A heartfelt thank you to Shangri-La Bangkok for creating such a meaningful and memorable day for the children at Mercy Home Garden.

Throughout the day, the children had the opportunity to learn through hands-on experiences, making delicious sandwiches, crafting refreshing mocktails, creating beautiful floral arrangements, and planting seeds. Each activity encouraged creativity, built practical life skills, and inspired curiosity in a fun and engaging way.

The smiles, laughter, and excitement shared throughout the day made every moment truly special. These experiences are more than just enjoyable activities—they are valuable lessons that help children grow in confidence and discover new interests.

We are sincerely grateful to the wonderful team from Shangri-La Bangkok for sharing your time, kindness, and expertise with our children. Your generosity and dedication have made a lasting impact, and we hope to welcome you back again for many more meaningful moments together.

Thank you for helping create brighter futures, one experience at a time.
