Eugene, Alvin Peter and our Thai staff, Wan, made contact with a group of refugees a few days ago. They are currently in desperate straits, with an urgent need for food and medical supplies.

We managed to provide them with approximately a month’s worth of emergency food items :
- Rice
- Salt
- Sugar
- Milk (Carnation)
- Instant noodles
- Dried shrimps (as substitute for dried fish)
- Chilli
Additionally, we gave them mosquito nets in order to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses. We’ll need to push up a fresh set of reliefs next month as they are badly in need of aid. To paint a better picture of what the situation is like, these people are malnourished and were living off roots of plants for food when we found them.
RADION needs your assistance in order to sustain our efforts in helping these refugees. We aim to continue to do so for a period of at least six months.
Total cost of outreach: 32,000bht (single trip)
We are calling for donors to assist by giving financially to this cause. If you would like to give, please email donations@radion-international.org with the header “Refugee Assistance” along with your full name and gift amount in the email.
