It was a big day at the Pattana Mai community on January 22 when Mr. Gary Kaplan came to meet the people and inspect the projects that the HG Kaplan Foundation recently sponsored. In a devastating fire in the community in 2024, 33 houses were razed to the ground, leaving more than 100 people homeless. Khun Gary and his foundation stepped forward to rebuild 33 homes for the victims and to put a new roof on the local children’s centre, for which the whole community are extremely grateful. Khun Gary inspected the new homes and also took time to meet the students at the Pattana Mai Children’s center, who greeted him with flowers. Later, Khun Gary took boys of the Pattana Mai Futsal team to buy new sports shoes for their games and then treated them to a dinner of KFC and donuts. The Duang Prateep Foundation and the Pattana Mai people would like to thank Khun Gary and the HG Kaplan Foundation for their kind understanding and generous support in helping the many affected families get their lives back on track.
