The ongoing spread of Covid-19 has brought to light the many groups of people who are struggling during these trying times and may need a little help. However, there may be a few other groups that perhaps may get overlooked. Here are three of them that you can help with.
Don t let the tourist boats sink
The United Nations Development Programme Thailand (UNDP) recently launched a crowdfunding campaign in collaboration with Krungthai Care and Raks Thai Foundation to provide support for families of tourist boat operators. The Koh Tao Better Together will help boat operators, local fishermen and those who worked in tourism whose income has been severely slashed by Covid-19 by employing them to collect garbage washed ashore on the island s beach. It aims to provide a monthly income of B3,000 to each of participating families for three months.
