Local flooding causes more hardships

By Margaret Grainger | Vice President

Local floods
Local floods

Thailand has been experiences heavy rains for over the past few months which has caused widespread flooding throughout the country.  Pattaya has very poor drainage systems and this results in many flash floods in the area. Housing that resembles poorly built temporary structures have no chance in being able to withstand these floods. With no existing walls or doors to these structures there is little defense against the elements. The result is that many of the few items they own are damaged and unredeemable. These include things such as bedding and food. Hand to hand has been working with locals to secure more of these items 2nd had to replace the damaged goods and also delivering cooked meals to the affected areas.

All Thai schools have been on holidays for the most of October which means that our scholarship students have free time. It has been so encouraging to see many of the older students coming to our centre to volunteer to pack and distribute rice to poor communities. As one student said; "I am so thankful for the food and schooling I have received, I want to do something to help others. I love to help give out food. I would like to do this for a job in the future."

We continue to serve the elderly and severely disabled children with food, water, pampers and milk formula. With no running water, these families are very thankful for bottles of drinking water. For disabled kiddies who are nasal gastric fed, this drinking water means their formula can be made in a safe and healthy way for them.

With Christmas coming we would like to give all of our families some additional rice and some snacks too. Every little bit helps towards this goal.

Thank you to everyone who gives so we can go. We feed 250 families a week and consumes just over 1 ton of rice per week.
