These are unprecedented times.
In light of the current situation, the Rotary Club of Bangkapi has decided to support Dinner from the Sky project.
Funds raised here will be directly sent to Friso Poldervaart, Johannes Bergstrom, Patrich Andersson, and Bunyapat Phochailerd, the entrepreneurs behind this project, so they can purchase even more food and essentials and pursue their tremendous job in feeding people living in the slums and landfills. Updates will be posted here along the way.
Please find below all the information regarding the said project below:
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, an estimated 7 million people have lost their job. Low-income workers are hit the hardest making it more and more difficult for them to get access to basic life necessities.
In neighborhoods and communities around Bangkok, hunger is an issue that people, including families and children, face every day. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of people in Bangkok struggled to know where their next meal might come from on a daily basis, a number that is now rising at an exponential rate.
The entrepreneurs behind Dinner in the Sky Thailand luxury experience, have joined forces to start a charity enterprise named Dinner from the Sky in reference to their previous venture.
The four then launched a fundraising campaign on Weeboon.com in order to be able to buy and donate food and essential supplies to slum communities in Bangkok. Backed by hundreds of donors, they raised over 480,000 baht in just a matter of days.
Alongside volunteers met along the road, the two are still at it every day and provide updates and pictures of their charity initiative on their Facebook page.
Please donate to support this initiative.
