Humanitarian Relief—Blanket Mission

BLANKET MISSION

RADION reacted immediately to a cold snap in January 2009 to provide blankets to more than 200 over destitue families that were hit by the sudden unusual cold weather. Temperatures plunged drastically to 2 deg c in northern parts of Thailand. The authorities had declared emergency zones across more than half of the country. The small villages which are located on the mountains were greatly affected by the cold spells as temperatures had reached -3 °C.

RADION international launched an emergency relief effort to bring blankets and warm clothing to rural areas of mountain villages. The first phase of the relief effort involved purchasing the blankets to reach the most pressing village in need, at the circumference of RADION’s field office in Phetchabun.
