The following is a press release from Globsub in Pattaya regarding their recent charity efforts to help the hungry in combination with the Richmond Bar in Pattaya. Their statements are their own.
Coronavirus covid-19 kills in different ways.
We are fortunate in Pattaya that the number of infected people was very low. So we are very fortunate. However, what a number of us do not realize is the devastation this is causing. Thousands of Thais, who live in Thailand now have no means of support. This is the reality right now here – these locals, are your massage ladies, hotel workers, restaurant workers, chefs, cleaners, bar man, gardeners, taxi drivers – they have lost their job and as we all know in Thailand, most of them will come here to work and send money home to their parents/children/family.
During Covid-19, since March 2020, staff and a few regular customers from the Richmond Bar have given out over 10,000 free food bags to the local Thai people. This was an idea thought up to give something back to the people who have made us “foreigners” so welcome.
We need more money for this charity and have together with Richmond Family Sports bar and GLOBSUB in Pattaya set up a Charity night where we have a goal to take in 50.000 baht so we still can give food every week to these people. We could not do this if it wasn’t for the kind donations we receive from our friends from around the world. For example, a small donation of £5.00 ( ฿200 or 58sek) pays for 8 food bags, each providing 2 meals.
If you would like to contribute and keep the “Free Food Fridays” going, then please “DONATE NOW”. We appreciate all donations and it REALLY does make a difference during this challenging time.
