The devastating flood situation in Thailand has caused my family and I to move eastward to Chanthaburi. The place assisted us well because it is where my grandma lives and also where my extended family spent the month. My family business was not affected because the major branch of the company is located here in the province of Chanthaburi. Fortunately, the flood hasn’t yet reached my house or any district near, so it is possible for me to attend school on Monday, well prepared. I have improved myself as a learner by exploring a wide world of education on the Internet, and discover that people get to learn from more than just going to school. This motivates me to be a continuous online learner and also being a resourceful learner, using the learning tools I have here.
The catastrophe in Thailand may cause a yearlong renovation in certain highly damaged areas. Furthermore, the country may face food shortage for a while especially with rice. In addition, food prices will madly increase causing a great change to Thailand’s economy. Households and citizens affected by flood may need a lengthy time to clean up the mess the disaster had caused. This could also lead to a downfall in tourism industries of the country as well. Thailand will also lack clean water for a short-term time being because the flood affects the water filtration system.
As a community member, I feel the necessities to help other people since I myself, am grateful that I didn’t experience detrimental flood. It is beyond my strength to give help to every flood victims but possible things I believe I could do are first of all, helping someone near. The flood may have affected my neighbor’s family. It is important to provide them their needs as much as possible. Donating money is also an efficient way to help flood victims. It is not always necessary to give off a large amount of money but it is possible to gather a lot and sum it to a huge one. I believe everyone could be apart of helping if they have cooperation. My moral compass says to reach out a helping hand. Even a small one counts. Right now I can turn that into action by help packing donations that will be sent to flood victims in Ayutthaya by a boat. My relatives have already done it so why stand still?
