‘One Phuket’ launched to counter COVID poverty, failing food security
PHUKET: A small group of local residents have banded together to coalesce efforts to help those in dire need of assistance as the COVID economic crisis continues to batter Phuket.
The group, numbering just over a handful, held their inaugural meeting on Tuesday (Feb 9) and now launched their ‘One Phuket’ initiative in the hope of gaining support, and momentum, from more members joining.
“With no definitive date for an end to this global pandemic, which is having a major impact on economies around the globe, our beautiful Island of Phuket continues to see many people struggling to survive,” explained Andrea Edwards, an active member of the group.
