Flood Relief Mission - Thailand, 2011

Major floods are occurring during the current monsoon season in Thailand, which began in late July 2011. The flooding - which is Thailand's worst in 50 years - has inundated about six million hectares of land, causing damages and even deaths across the country. Flood monitoring and relief operations are currently underway.

Due to the urgency of the current flood situation in Thailand, Yayasan Nanyang Press has to date contributed over RM100,000 and is also cooperating with the Vajrayana Buddhist Council of Malaysia, the Buddhist Society of KDU and other universities to help raise more funds for flood relief operations.

Yayasan Nanyang Press is co-distributing supplies and resources with a few temples in Thailand, such as Wat Duang Kae (Bangkok), Wat Tammapayaram (Nakhom Pathom) and Wat Pai Thong (Bangpama, Suphanburi), and will be actively sending rice, eggs, medicine, women's sanitary pads, bottled drinking water and other essential items to Thais who are currently taking refuge in temples near areas affected by the floods.

Yayasan Nanyang Press has a rescue team made up of more than 40 local volunteers constantly sending adequate supplies to victims who may still be staying in their flooded homes. Twenty boats have been imported from China for use in Bangkok, and will be distributed to the volunteers at the affected areas so that they will be able to send supplies to victims or evacuate them should the water levels continue to rise to dangerous levels.

Supplies that are being contributed by Yayasan Nanyang Press to the flood victims include:

• Rice, daily meals and water to over 3,000 people at four different areas (two areas in Bangkok, and one each in Nakhom Pathom and Suphanburi)
• Twenty raft boats imported from China for use in Bangkok, to help distribute supplies and resources to victims and evacuate victims from their flooded homes
• Medicine for skin-related diseases
• Fifty pairs of boots imported from China to protect Yayasan Nanyang Press volunteers from prolonged exposure to flood waters
• Milk powder for babies.

Yayasan Nanyang Press urgently appeals to the public for the following items to be donated to the flood victims in Thailand as soon as possible:

• Rice
• Eggs
• Boots
• Medicine for skin-related diseases
• Milk powder for babies
• Bottled drinking water
• Sleeping bags and blankets
• Women's sanitary pads.
