In the wake of the severe floods that have affected many parts of Thailand, the American School of Bangkok is organizing a special goods drive from November 18-22, 2011 to help the flood victims.
We will be collecting the following products:
Food: Canned fish and meats - easy-open cans (sardines); noodle cups; dry edible food (crackers, chips, etc.) Drinks: Bottled water; small/ individual juice boxes; small / individual UHT milk Others: Toothpaste and toothbrushes; toilet paper; paracetamol, band-aids; insect repellent; diapers
Contributions can be dropped off at the Admissions office of both campuses. Monetary donations are also welcome. We will use whatever funds received to purchase additional items needed to prepare survival kits. We will sort all the items received and pack them into special survival kits. These will be delivered to the affected people in the flood areas.
