 One
Person Is One Too Many
Tamar Center was opened in August 1999. Our vision is to work
with local churches to show the love and compassion of Jesus by
bringing help and healing to the estimated 20,000 girls and women
in Pattaya involved in prostitution.
Once a year we run a three month training course for girls who decide
to leave prostitution. In this course the girls are trained in hairdressing
and baking. At the same time they receive Bible teaching and counseling.
They are being prepared to return to Thai society in a way that
reaffirms their dignity and self- worth.
 Throughout
the rest of the year, the Tamar Center offers the girls jobs in
our card making program or hairdressing salon. Recently, we opened
a Bakery and a Nursery for the children of the women working with.
In addition to that we have weekly outreaches to the bars to make
contacts and invite the girls to English class, which we offer three
times a week.
Statistics estimate that the number of prostitutes working in Thailand
range from 300,000 to 2.8 million (since it is officially illegal
it is hard to get exact numbers). The Tamar Center is helping to
make a difference! No matter what the exact figure is, one person
is one person too many.
Fast Facts about Pattaya
Pattaya city stretches for about 15 km along the Gulf of Thailand,
150 km south of Bangkok. Though its registered population is only
70,000 people, Pattaya has as many as 2 million tourist visitors
each year. Originally a small fishing village of only a hundred
families, the Vietnam war brought discovery by the western world
and Pattaya soon became the official "R & R" center for American
armed forces. Shops services, bars and hotels grew to meet the demand.
The tourism boom followed and nowadays, Pattaya is a thriving resort
destination.
