"Deputy Education Minister Surachet Chaiwong...He visited the injured to give them morale (sic) support and said that the Ministry of Education will scramble to find accommodations for the schoolgirls."

Typical. What would happen in a more responsible society, is that he, his superiors and everyone else in the education ministry would be fired and brought up on charges for dereliction. They would be tried for not implementing and enforcing adequate safety codes for all schools under their control, and thus be responsible for the deaths of the students.

However, here in Thailand, the Ministry of Education makes no apologies for not doing its job of providing a safe and healthy environment for students, and will scramble to find the survivors accommodations. Scramble is the perfect term::"To scramble is to move quickly in a disorganized fashion." It appears that the Ministry of Education is quite proficient in scrambling. Unfortunately, many innocent lives were lost due to their disorganization.

As for the donations by the public. What guarantee is there that all the money will reach the intended recipients?

scramble to find accommodation, that's it! How about setting up a scholarship for each of them to ensure that they are given a proper free education including university!
