An incredible 680,000 baht was raised from live and silent auctions for luxury stays at various leading properties, gourmet dining, fine wines, and more, and from the sale of tickets for fun temple fair games and popcorn. Funds were donated to Hands Across the Water’s new home, PAMA House located in Chanthaburi. PAMA House officially opened on March 7, 2015, and will provide shelter, education and opportunity for up to 20 at-risk girls.
