December 23 was the day that the Camillian Centre in Rayong received their Teddy Bears from this year's Teddy Bear Appeal.

One aspect of the Camillian Centre is to care for children with HIV.

With us on this visit was Mr Norman Vernon who is an active and passionate fundraiser for the centre and he was "over the moon" to see that his latest project, a swimming pool for the children was underway.

Also in attendance, representing the Teddy Bear Appeal organisers, was David from Oscars and other volunteers.

The centre is run by Father Giovanni who established the centre in 1995.

It was a wonderful experience to see the children choose one of the Teddy Bears that many of you had kindly donated.
