Severe Flooding Affected Many Parts of Krabi

GVI Ao Luk staff and volunteers are raising funds to assist local families that have been affected by recent flooding and landslides in the Krabi province. Recently, Project Manager Charlie blogged about the horrific events here. Many people are still recovering from the damage. Donations can be made to help these families at the Krabi Flood Just Giving Page (also see the link on the right side of the blog). Any donations will be used to purchase furnishing and clothes for local families as well as repairs to damaged homes as a result of the floods and landslides in the province.

One lady in Ao Nang, a friend of GVI TEFL Trainer Leila, has written about the damage the flooding has caused to her home and business. This is one of many local people that GVI Ao Luk would like to provide assistance for:

"On the evening of 29th March 2011 a disastrous flood hit the province of Krabi in Southern Thailand and most of the rest of the Malay Peninsula. Mud slides devastated several areas north of the provincial capital and the Krabi River, as result of such burden, flooded a huge mass of mud and water that submerged an extensive area of the city.

Several hundred people, mainly from the surrounding countryside, are still missing. Janram Warndee, founder of the non-profit organization, The Krabi Enduro Team, and her family have suffered an unfortunate inundation that thanks god, without life casualties, has however left her house wrecked. The only family's financial support; Janram's Thailand Off-Road Adventures motorcycle and bicycle company has been struck by the same fate, and all the motorcycles and equipment have been buried thick in mud. This disaster has resulted in a deadly blow to Janram's hard earned attempt to establish an off-road activity that is unique in this part of the Malay Peninsula. Janram is kindly asking for help. Please do whatever you can do for her, and more than anything else, come to ride with us when she has the bikes up and running again.

I sincerely appreciate your concern.

-Janram Warndee"
