Thanks to the inspirational HDF Mercy Centre Charity in Thailand for giving me permission to share this video.
The HDF Mercy Centre Charity began in Thailand on an early morning in 1972, when Fr. Joe and Sister Maria took their first walk together in the slums beside the Slaughter House. They greeted everybody, as they have countless days since, and asked, do you have enough to eat? Are your children in good health? Is there any way we can help? In 1972 the children from that area didn't go to school, and a few who did failed dismally and dropped out.
Sr. Maria and Fr. Joe turned a slum shack into a one-baht-per-day preschool for every child in the Slaughter House, children of all religions. No child was turned away. Thus began 'The Human Development Foundation - Mercy Centre'.
Today there are twenty-two 'Mercy Kindergartens' with over 2,000 slum children going to school. Originally built on a former Buddhist Temple site on port authority property, the Mercy Centre Charity in Thailand has stood in some shape or form for 50 years. In 2000, it was rebuilt through a generous gift to accommodate our expanding services to orphans, street children, and children living with HIV/AIDS.
