- Saint Camillus Foundation
The Saint Camillus Foundation of Thailand is a charitable organization in Thailand, set up and run by the Camillian monastic order.
In 1995, the Foundation with the participation of an Italian priest Father Giovanni Contarin established a Camillian Social Centre in the Province of Rayong. The Center was built to provide shelter and care to homeless, indigent, and rejected people living with HIV/AIDS. Special emphasis was placed on women and children, as they were the most vulnerable members of the society. [ [http://www.camillian-rayong.org/en/situation.asp Camillian Social Center] ]
