UBD Sawaddee Humanitarian Donation Drive


From the words of Sawaddee Club:

"Sawaddee club is having a one week donation drive until 18th Nov . We emphasize on books, medicines, dry foods, clothes, blankets and more. Shipment will insyaAllah be done by this month because we want to help right when they are recovering and while floods are receding. This effort is supported by the Thai embassy and insyaAllah, they will help with shipping cost.

UBD sawaddee club community work team had previously volunteered to teach in schools in south Thai for a month last June. It will be shipped to the people we knew in south Thai. So we can assure you, it will reach south thai (especially the schools that we had volunteered in) Shipping cost we cover as much as we could from the funds collected from our bake sale and also if you want to donate for the shipping costs.

Some of the things may be brought to South Thai end of year as about 5 of our team members will be going to Yala and Pattani to visit our foster family and friends. As for the Indonesian victims, PERMAI (persatuan masyarakat indonesia) might manage the donated goods, we're just helping them out too.

As to share the news with you all, we heard the news from foster family and friends in south thai that ada 2 students who was taught last june by sawaddee community work team had passed away during the flooding. it was that serious. Thus we are compelled to make this effort.

So, if there are family and friends who wants to donate, text 7125747 (Atiqah), or drop by UBD during the mentioned time at CLT between 9am to 4pm till next week Thurs. (Please note that we won't be around on Sundays and public holiday (on wed))

A million thanks! May Allah bless you all. And may this humble effort of ours succeed."

Let us make this small effort to help those in need, regardless of where you come from. Show some love!
