Well done the Womens Association for Creating Thailand’s Social Development.

But 500 handouts really doesn't make a dent in the problem!

The government should be doing this but we all know thats just lip service and I'm not aware of it happening elsewhere in Thailand. 

Again well done I'm sure the 500 families will appreciate it? 

oh by the way there's no mention of how much each family received?
