* TSUNAMI RELIEF EFFORT *
Princess Bajrakitiyabha Foundation

The first non-profit is the ‘Princess Bajrakitiyabha Foundation’, under the patronage of HRH Princess Bajrakitiyabha Mahidol. They work more with local regions that do not generate outside assistance. Thus far, the Princess Bajrakitiyabha Foundation has built 114 prefab houses as well as distributed 10,000 survival kits and bottled drinking water to the affected people. The foundation's volunteers have also been preparing foods for distribution to people in the area. The Foundation is also involved in the caring (such as the rehabilitation of mental and physical health) of orphans and elderly people affected by the tsunami.

Donations for ‘Princess Bajrakitiyabha Foundation’ were collected from numerous individuals in the local Thai Community in New York and Americans nationwide. (A complete list can be requested, and receipts will be mailed out.)
