From Our Heart to Yours: Standing with Those Displaced by the Thai-Cambodia Conflict

The images and stories emerging from the Thai-Cambodia border are heartbreaking, tens of thousands of ordinary families forced to leave everything behind. They are just like us – mothers, fathers, children, elders – suddenly without a home, without their familiar comforts, and facing an uncertain future.

At Freedom World, we believe in the power of community, especially in times of crisis. That's why we're continuing our strong support for the Bangkok Community Help Foundation (BCHF), who are on the ground, literally hand-delivering hope and essential aid to those most affected.

Imagine having to flee with only what you can carry. That's the reality for over 100,000 people who are currently displaced, primarily in areas like Surin. They're seeking refuge in temporary shelters, often schools and temples, where basic necessities become precious luxuries.

The Power of Collective Action: 2 Tonnes of Aid Delivered!

The BCHF community recently completed a monumental effort: a full day of sorting, packing, and loading a staggering 2,000 kg (that's 2 tonnes!) of essential donations for the people of Surin. This incredible feat was only possible thanks to the immense generosity of people like you.

• "We are deeply grateful to everyone who brought or sent items to our warehouse, and a big thank you to all the volunteers who came to help today."
• "2 tonnes of aid are now on the way to Surin! 🚛"
• "Huge thanks to everyone who came together to donate essentials—rice, medicine, dried food, hygiene products, clothes, and shoes. This is what solidarity looks like❤️"

These simple messages speak volumes about the spirit of compassion that shines brightest in difficult times. It's about neighbors helping neighbors, reaching across borders to offer comfort and critical supplies.

Our Work Continues: Until Every Family Returns Home Safely

While a shaky ceasefire is in place, the journey home for these families is still long and uncertain. Until they can rebuild their lives, their immediate needs are immense. Every single item makes a difference to someone who has lost so much.

Here’s what is still urgently needed for the over 100,000 displaced individuals:

• 🦟 Mosquito repellent spray: Crucial for health and comfort in temporary shelters.
• 🪥 Toothbrushes & toothpaste: Basic hygiene for maintaining dignity.
• 🧓 Adult diapers (Sizes L & M): Essential for vulnerable adults.
• 👶 Baby diapers (Size M): For the littlest and most delicate among them.
• 🍼 Baby formula (Stage 1 & 2): Ensuring infants get the nourishment they need.
• 🎨 Play-Doh for the children: A small ray of normalcy and comfort for kids who have seen too much.
• 🍚 Rice: A staple food for hungry families.
• 🍜 Instant noodles (Mama): Easy to prepare and comforting.
• 👕 Second-hand clothes: Warmth and dignity for all ages.
