The Rayong Bakery





On Tuesday the Pattaya International Ladies Club made a visit to The Rayong Bakery. The PILC initially helped start the bakery project over 8 years ago by purchasing their industrial ovens, providing training and an outlet to sell their baked goods. The Head of the PILC Welfare board organized the trip for any members that were interested in seeing the project first hand. Nineteen ladies attended the morning visit. I was proud of my girls, they had the kitchen spit-spot. When I visited last week they were scrubbing the floor with toothbrushes, cleaning out the freezer, scrubbing everything from top to bottom. The ladies toured the facility, helped make some bread rolls and eagerly purchased over $300 of the bakery's goods. The bakery is a wonderful example of how a welfare project can become self-sustainable.
