The Thai-Japanese Technology Promotion Association has launched a donation campaign for earthquake victims in Japan.

Associate Professors of Economics at Thammasat University Chawin Leenabanchong and Suwinai Paranawalai, as honorary chairpersons of the Keio University Alumni Club in Thailand and the Thai-Japanese Technology Promotion Association, are calling on Thai nationals to donate cash and necessity items for the victims of the recent earthquake in Japan.


Chawin noted that despite being a small nation, Thailand was among the first countries to send aid to quake-hit Japan.

He added that humanity must come before the economy and politics, and Thailand is capable of helping Japan in various ways, with food aid in particular.

Meanwhile, Suwinai said Japan is in dire need of assistance, as disrupted transport and logistics systems make it difficult for aid to reach the quake victims in a timely manner.

She added that blankets, rice, and dry foods are among the most wanted items at the moment.

Those wishing to donate food and necessity items to the quake victims may contact the Thai-Japanese Technology Association at 02-258-0320 extension, 1111.

Cash donations can be made at Bangkok Bank Sukhumvit 34 branch, account number 172-0-94526-8.
