A group of German-speaking expats offered a Bangkok charity with a cheque of over 350,000 baht on Monday. The cash had been raised at a football fundraiser in January. The group of expats are known as the Thai.Ger Supporters.
The twelfth annual THAI.GER Charity Soccer Event was held on January 28 at the Ruamrudee International School- Swiss Section, a German-speaking college in Bangkok.
The occasion noticed eight senior teams and 18 scholar groups of varied age teams compete for medals and trophies, together with the “Ambassador’s Cup” from the German Embassy. Participants had an pleasant day of competition and enjoyable on the school’s sports grounds in Minburi.
Discount emerged victorious. Another winner of the competitors was a charity, Father Joe’s Mercy Center in Klong Toey. THAI.GER supporters donated the web profit of the event to the centre, elevating over 350,000 THB.
The head of the Mercy Centre, Khun Paweena, was introduced with the cheque on Monday evening by the German Ambassador, H.E. Georg Schmidt. The German and Swiss embassies have been long-time supporters of the initiative, for which the THAI.GERs expressed their gratitude. The success of the occasion was made possible thanks to the contributions of all sponsors and supporters.
Those who missed out on this year’s event can look forward to the 13th THAI.GER Charity Soccer Tournament, which can doubtless take place in November on the school’s brand-new grass pitch. The exact date of the event might be announced at a later time..
