Pattaya Orphanage Trust launches new Web site
Howard Lake | 6 May 2004 | News
The Pattaya Orphanage trust has launched its new Web site, built by Future Strategy, the online marketing strategy company.
The Pattaya Orphanage Trust’s new Web site will connect supporters in the UK and around the world with the work of the Trust and the orphaned, disabled and street children in Pattaya, Thailand, whom the charity helps.
The site is updated weekly with news from the orphanage and the other projects, including stories of some of the children helped by the Trust. Other features include film clips, songs from the children and an online version of ‘go-ball’, a game played by partially sighted children at the orphanage.

Visitors to the site are invited to sign up to a free monthly e-mail newsletter and there is a facility to make secure online donations via WorldPay. The site also seeks applications from volunteers with an enquiry form which is accessed directly by the volunteer manager in Thailand.
The site sensibly offers visitors and supporters the chance to promote the charity on their own Web site. You can download five banner ads that encourage viewers to sponsor a child. You can also download a screensaver promoting the charity, and this is available in both Mac and Windows flavours.
Paula Gair, Director of Future Strategy, who advise the Pattaya Orphanage Trust on online marketing strategy, said: “The focus on increasing e-communications with new and existing supporters will ultimately save money, while ensuring supporters become closer and more involved with the Pattaya Orphanage Trust.”
