ABOUT TIK'S TSUNAMI RELIEF

Tisha promoted grassroots tsunami relief efforts in Thailand. Tik's Tsunami Relief provided immediate help where it was needed most (and where large agencies could not). Promotion of the effort was initially through friends and colleagues, but the main stage was phuket-guide.com where donors could view regular updates and photos of relief efforts. The transparency of the relief effort soon made many others comfortable to support it through donations and viral sharing of the site. The first project was the creation and distribution of hundreds of survival kits to supply essentials to displaced villagers in the devastated area of Khao Lak. Large agencies provided tents, clothing, rice and milk but no pans, bowls, utensils, cooking oil or baby bottles. Tik's kits included these items and much more. Thanks to the website promotion and regular updates to sponsors, what followed was a very successful two-year campaign to rebuild homes, businesses and water towers as well as a school and Buddhist Temple. The effort continues to provide long term help to kids who lost parents in the villages of Kamala and Baan Saku. See Case Studies section for more!
