week, we put on several things for our customers and band members.
- Rock the School

On 9 June, 6 students who received scholarships granted under our project ‘Rock the School’ came tohave lunch with us at Hard Rock Café Pattaya. 6 scholarships have been awarded to 6 governmentschool students who are currently studying in Grade 6, from low income backgrounds, to continuetheir study in junior high school and further on. Each student receives the fund of THB 28,000 peryear and each student is selected and evaluated by a committee formed by Hotel executives and
School officials. The scholarship fund is designed to help the student and respective families to buy
uniforms, books and extra-curricular educational activities.
On 10 June, Hard Rock Pattaya staff and management went on ‘Rock the Lunch’ at BaanAmphur Primary School to provide students a quality lunch. Schools which have a limitedbudget for children’s meals are selected and we do this on a monthly basis. Our own bandmembers buy the food, prepare, cook, and serve it! We also put on some entertainmentduring this time, and the children all have a blast and leave nourished and energized. TAKE
TIME TO BE KIND..
On 12 June, the Team went on ‘Rock the Forest’ at Khao Chi-On Non Hunting Area in Sattahip District,
Chonburi in order to plant Hairy-Leafed Apitong (Yang Na), Takian (Hopea Odorata), Siamese
Rosewood, Indian Gooseberry and Muntingia in this area covering 8,000 sqm, in order to rehabilitate
the wasteland. This project was initiated last year, and we have in the plan a maintenance schedule of
visit the forest every 6 weeks or so. Chief Somsuk Kongsombatsuk, Chief of Khao Chi-On NonHunting Area explained to us the multiple benefits of forestation; apart from sustainability,what we are doing will considerably contribute to the good health of the forest, It will helpkeep the water in the reservoir and local people will then have water for their farms andplantations throughout the year. Animal inhabitants will also have adequate water and food.
This forest is a habitat of various species of animal namely, deer, Hog deer, Eld’s deer and
more. We will also come back periodically to check the growth of the saplings and the conditions of
this piece of land in the course of this and the coming few years. SAVE THE PLANET.
On June 11th, it was time to do a bit of partying … Hard Rock Band members from all departments
celebrated Our Birthday in our ‘U Rock Party’ with band members band playing live, having some
tasty food and having a drink or two …. ALL IS ONE.
