DCL Donates Service to Tsunami Relief Effort
DCL, Siam International donate logistics services to transport Tsunami relief goods for Thai people.
(PRWEB) February 5, 2005 -- Direct Container Line (DCL), a global NVOCC, and Siam International, a freight forwarder, partnered to donate logistics services to transport a container loaded with necessary goods to Thailand for the tsunami relief effort.
“We saw people in the rain come to the temple to donate. We saw young people take from their piggy banks,” said Los Angeles Council member, Wendy Greuel. She was speaking at a function where goodwill and thoughts for those affected by the Asian Tsunamis translated into real effort to gather and move halfway across the world, a container filled with donated items.
DCL and Siam International took part in this ceremony conducted at the Wat Thai of Los Angeles Temple to release a container filled with goods donated by surrounding communities. DCL will transport the container full of blankets, clothes, food and medicine to Lat Krabang, Thailand without cost. The donated DCL container is to arrive on February 15.
The Wat Thai Temple graciously thanked both DCL and Siam International for their important service in ensuring the supplies arrive safely and asked each representative to stand for applause.
“It is an honor for DCL to take part in such a worthwhile cause. I was so pleased to see people come together and work towards getting this container to the tsunami victims in Thailand,” said Alexandra Ryan, DCL representative.
The Consul-General, Isinthorn Sornvai, assured the crowd that the goods would go directly to the disaster victims and extended his thanks for the container donation.
