The Thai Student Association at the University of Colorado at Boulder will raise funds for tsunami relief efforts for four days during Jan. 10-14 at the University Memorial Center.
With the exception of Wednesday, Jan. 12, the student group will operate a booth in the UMC from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. The booth will feature information and pictures of what is happening in Thailand as a result of the tsunami disaster, said Arunee Tanvisuth, an association member and a doctoral student in business strategy and entrepreneurship.
All the money collected will go to the American Red Cross International Response Fund, Tanvisuth said. Each donor will receive a written thank you in Thai and also will receive a Thai souvenir.
"We don't want to just ask for their money, we also want to thank them for helping the Thai people," she said. The names of all donors are planned to be posted on the Thai Student Association's Web site at .
The association also will place a donation box at the Thai Avenue restaurant at 1310 College Ave. in the food court on the Hill, Tanvisuth said.
The CU-Boulder Thai Student Association has about 45 members.
