A heartfelt thank you to all our contributors to the flood donation efforts. Within hours of sending an appeal via email to parents, donations began to be dropped off at the stations around school. We made the first drop off – two truck loads of much needed items – to the Royal Thai Air Force, where it was flown directly to Hat Yai for distribution.

The second drop off was completed this week through the Thai Red Cross. We will continue to accept donations of good until the last day of school, Friday 19th December.

In the meantime, many of you made cash donations and these are very much appreciated. If you have made a cash donation and have not received a receipt yet (within 3 business days), please contact accounts@patana.ac.th.

We are still accepting cash donations; contributions can be made through our existing payment systems, for secure handling and issuing of receipts. These donations will go towards rehabilitation and at the moment we are in discussions on supporting a school in Hat Yai.

• From the Firefly dashboard go to Services, then to Online payment and then choose Annual Fund Online Donation (https://bpsnet.patana.ac.th/payment/donation/index.asp?FundType=ANF).  Monetary donations of THB 15,000 and above will be tax deductible through our Foundation Board Office.

As the cash donations begin to be disbersed, a full accounting of these will be published, either here in Patana News or directly to all parents via email.

Thank you for your generosity and support of this effort. A big thank you to the Foundation Board Office and our PTG for coordinating this effort.
