Marko Cunningham has been in the Thai Rescue Service for over 10 years. More recently Shane Palmer, a St John’s Ambulance officer in New Zealand, has taken over the administration of the organization, leaving Marko to run the day to day operations in Thailand. As of 10th April, 2010 we have become an officially registered charity(in NZ). Official Registration Number is CC44140.
In the last 10 years Marko Cunningham and the BFA have helped donate food and clothing to over 10,000 people, taught First Aid and CPR to over 7,000 people, helped over 6,000 accident victims, taken care of over 2,000 dead bodies and much more. Through his own generosity Marko has been paying for an ambulance since 2004. However due to lack of finance this could not be continued; The BFA has not been able to provide an ambulance for the last 6 months.
This year the newly registered BFA plans to open a new English speaking ambulance service in the central Bangkok area and also to run an EMS/CPR/CCR education program for volunteers and the rural poor. BFA has many more programs and ideas for the future too and is only limited by the funds it may receive. There are presently around 90,000 volunteers in Thailand waiting to be trained in CPR alone. This will be one of our major initial projects, to not only teach CPR but to register volunteers as trainers to train others in their area, Thai’s helping Thais.
The BFA initially needs a new ambulance and equipment to continue its work of helping the injured, teaching, training and helping the poor and needy of Thailand. If you or your company are able to sponsor the BFA in any way then please contact us ASAP! We are really in desperate need of your help! With as little as 1000 baht(US$33), or more, of you will be making a HUGE difference!
Please help us to help others less fortunate: Helping the poor and empowering locals to take care of themselves and their future.
