Thai Innovation

From reading the article "Thailand Floods" something that is really interesting to me is the flood alarm created by a piping and a ping pong ball which students from Mongkhut University had invented. This alarm works by, when the flood rises, it pushes the ping pong ball up upon to a certain point which results in an alarm. To me, this is very creative because the idea is so simple along with the materials used and it can turn into a useful and effecient tool. If I was to think of an invention to help the flood, I would invent a portable shower that uses flood water which goes through a process that could make it clean, is it even possible? Inventions that would help contribute to the flood must be made by simple materials because it would be easy for the people that are effected b the flood to make and of course, it has to be effecient in some way. Anyways, the best scenerio is to quickly end this flooding and let all citizens in Thailand live their normal life once again.

Tragedy in Thailand

A tragedy had hit Thailand which had affected millions and millions of citizens. It is the biggest flood that had happened to this beautiful country in 50 years. This is nothing to joke about and it is a serious problem that everyone has to care and support.  Like me and most of my other friends, we are not affected, but out there they are people who need our support and love. My family and I have volunteered to help by giving 1 million baht as well as water bottles and mama cups to the flood charity created by the government. Not only me but my group of friends also want to show that they care, so we decided to attend "Wipe the Tide" which is where we invade Bangkok’s major traffic intersections to clean the windshields of cars in order to raise funds for flood victims and to help rebuilding devastated areas. We think this is a great activity to have fun and help at the same time where anyone can join. So if you want me to wash your cars, drive to central world where this event will occur! I hope you are all safe and dry and I hope to see everyone on Monday :).
