Busarawadee Ekachai said during the province’s nine-day Songkran
celebration, the Matcha shop will give out a motorbike, refrigerators,
televisions, washing machines, fans, irons, other appliances and smaller
handouts.
The Chonburi Red Cross again opened the doors of its
Matcha Charity Shop, which is collecting donations of cash and
merchandise to hand out to the poor during Songkran.
Chonburi Gov. Khomsan Ekachai officiated at the March 12 opening at the
Chalerm Prakiat Pavilion as local residents and businesses lined up to
donate goods to the charity shop.
Red Cross Chairwoman Busarawadee Ekachai said during the province’s
nine-day Songkran celebration, the Matcha shop will give out a
motorbike, refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, fans, irons and
other appliances. Smaller handouts include rice, oil, sugar and instant
noodles.
Cash collected will be used for blood drives, health promotion, disaster
relief, bicycles for the poor, and scholarships.
Khomsan said the Matcha shop is both a way to aid the needy in Chonburi
and raise vital funds for the Red Cross and its mission. (CPRD)
