Smiles Across Cultures – U.S. students bring joy to children at HHN Foundation with music, theatre, and kindness. PATTAYA, Thailand – At the Child Protection and Development Center (CPDC) in Huay Yai Subdistrict, Chonburi Province, high school students majoring in Performing Arts from Monterey Peninsula College (MPC), California, USA, delivered a heartfelt musical and theatrical performance. The aim was to share and exchange Western-style performing arts with the children under the care of the HHN Foundation for Thai Children. The group also generously hosted a lunch for the children. The event was warmly welcomed by Ratchada Chomchinda, Director of the HHN Foundation for Thai Children, and Siromet Akarapongpanich, Director of the CPDC, along with staff and the children. Special guests in attendance included Hubert Grevenkamp, a supporter of the foundation’s work, Elfi Seitz, Nittaya Patimasongkroh and several other honorable attendees, who all came to enjoy the performance. The MPC Theatre Arts troupe showcased a high-quality, professional lineup of performances including musicals, classical plays, contemporary dramas, family and children’s theatre, as well as experimental and student-created productions — where students wrote, directed, and acted in their own original works. The show left a lasting impression and brought wide smiles to both the children and guests. The event also featured a lunch for the children and guests, as well as the presentation of souvenirs and financial donations to support the center’s ongoing activities.
