webfact Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 UNICEF urges Thais to urgently donate to help fight EbolaBANGKOK: -- The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Friday appealed to Thais for urgent donations to help fight the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa.UNICEF Thailand Representative Bijaya Rajbhandari said the virus could threaten the lives of millions of others unless urgent action is taken to bring it under control.UNICEF estimated that at least 3,700 children in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone have lost one or both parents to Ebola since the start of the outbreak. Many of these children are being shunned and rejected by surviving relatives due to fears of being infected by the virus.UNICEF estimates that some 8.5 million children and young people under the age of 20 live in affected areas in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Of these, 2.5 million are under the age of five.UNICEF has issued an appeal for US$ 200 million to respond to the outbreak, which is part of a broader, six-month appeal for $987.8 million that governments and humanitarian agencies require to fight the spread of the epidemic.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/UNICEF-urges-Thais-to-urgently-donate-to-help-figh-30245460.html-- The Nation 2014-10-14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post noitom Posted October 14, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2014 They've come to the right place to ask for donations. Thais are huge givers for humanitarian causes and charitable work. Thais know how to give. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiSoLowSoNoSo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Why do they think they will donate to Africans, people they look down on (not to forget Burmese, Indians and Arabs)? They don't even look after their own poor and sick people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickirs Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I'd donate but .... I spent all my money on a low number license plate. I donated my money to a temple so it can gold leaf its roof. I formed a charitable foundation that used its funds to buy me land. I spent all my money on auto repairs - a ferrari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Aleman Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thailand has only one direction for money/ aid and that direction is only IN, NOT out ! The concept of groups of nations, UN, UNICEF, etc., is nations helping other nations not nations only helping themselves an pleading for help from others. Reciprocation is not translatable here. How quickly they forget/dismiss all the help offered/given free, voluntarily, by others to them. Tsk, tsk ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurkster Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Why? They invented the cure. -Where'd you leave it, Dr Somchai? - I though you had it, Dr Turdsak. they don't even need a cure because, the disease won't kill anyone anymore... didn't you hear, they gave Ebola Thai citizenship, so it wouldn't do such a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookee68 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Why? They invented the cure. -Where'd you leave it, Dr Somchai? - I though you had it, Dr Turdsak. I remember reading somewhere that they had discovered an antidote to the cure, what a crock of shit that was, I got a cure for it, stay the <deleted> away from anyone or anywhere that has it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
