“Thailand Initiative Growth & Emergency Relief (TIGER) Fund� was set up after the terrible 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia to help relieve those impacted from this natural disaster. The TIGER Fund has since been used to directly help people in need during the many crises that have affected Thailand, South East Asia and the world. Over the years, more than 15 million baht has been donated including millions of baht raised by Concordian students through amazing student-led activities including Walkathons, the School Build project etc.. Donations have also come from our supportive parents and though wonderful PTA events. Concordian is a genuine community of compassionate parents, teachers, and students and we are truly thankful for all the support given! As the COVID-19 crisis has affected many people around the world and in Thailand, especially hospitals where equipment is still in short supply, the school has decided to donate another 1,000,000 baht from TIGER Fund, raised by Concordian students and community, to contribute medical equipment including N95 masks, Infrared Forehead thermometers, medical rubber gloves, sanitizer hand gels, laminated gowns, PPE sets, mobcaps, leg covers etc. We delivered this medical equipment to the following hospitals in southern provinces of Thailand including Krabi, Songkhla and especially in the Deep South (Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat), to assist health personnel and volunteers in protecting themselves and controlling the spread of Covid-19 and other infectious diseases.
