HSS Thailand in association with Sewa International set up a relief tent at the earthquake affected site in Chatuchak. Food packets, snacks and face masks were distributed to around 120-150 people. Beneficiaries included Thai military and defense personnel and others involved in clearing the debris and other relief activities.
Thai Sikh community joined hands together with swayamsevaks as they donated over 80 boxes of food, 2,000 masks and several cartons of water, juices and drinks. The Sewa team also coordinated with the relief teams to research on the victim’s families to gather data for further support for Thai and Burmese victims. They also met the Governor of Bangkok Chadchart Sittipunt and appraised him regarding the ongoing relief efforts.
Sewa International relief work in Myanmar & Thailand
In the wake of the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit Myanmar and neighboring regions on March 28, Sewa International launched humanitarian operations by establishing community kitchen in Myanmar and setting up a 24×7 Help Desk in Thailand.
The organization has started community kitchens, distributing over 4,000 hot meals daily to survivors in Myanmar. Sewa International has also distributed UV-resistant tarpaulins, solar lanterns, blankets, tents, and plastic floor sheets to families forced to live in the open due to collapsed or unsafe structures.
In Thailand, where buildings also suffered damage due to tremors, Sewa International has established a 24×7 Help Desk at Chatuchak in Bangkok. Sewa teams supported SAR-K9 search units in reaching trapped victims and are actively helping clear debris. Aid includes ready-to-eat meals, drinking water, hygiene kits, and protective gear for both affected families and frontline workers.
