SOS preparing delicious meals for the needy.

 

PHUKET: Scholars of Sustenance Foundation (SOS)  launched its food charity program in Phuket yesterday  (Feb 6), with the goal of providing food donations to the needy. SOS has been working to repurpose surplus food which amounts to roughly five tons per month, largely the hospitality industry in Phuket alone. This surplus food would ordinarily be discarded as rubbish. 

 

According to  (SOS), the launch worked together with partners such as Phuket Shelter for Children and Families Office with Sawaeng ’Jack’ Kaola, Phuket Branch Manager of SOS, Vice Governor Phichet Panaphong, individual food donors, and other local officials. 

 

Sawaeng said, "Phuket province receives more than a million visitors monthly. The anticipation to feed these visitors generates a surplus food supply of about five tons per month across Phuket Island. The surplus food is still edible but may be slightly past its shelf life and thus not suitable to be sold."

nice work and not only helping the needy but also reducing garbage (that shouldn't be garbage)

Two people handling food even though they have skin without gloves, two people handling food while wearing gloves, none wearing a mask is something the Minister of Health should be told about this because he wants us to be forced to leave if not wearing a mask.  Also, in his rant, he mentioned that he has many farang friends and likes them.  That is a throwback to, "I have many black, Jewish, Chinese, German, etc., friends".

 

In conclusion, if there is any food left over why is it not turned into compost, or is that not done by Thais.

'nuf sed.
