| A feel good story amid the daily carnage. |
Meanwhile, a woman maimed in a bombing has donated her senior citizen's allowance to flood victims. Aree Chaisongkram, 67, had her leg amputated from the knee down after she stepping on a booby trap while working in a rubber plantation in Narathiwat province on Monday.
She told her son while being taken to hospital that she wanted to donate her monthly state allowance to the Miracle of Life Foundation, established by Princess Ubolratana, to help victims of the floods.
A foundation official said yesterday the princess was touched by Ms Aree's generosity and had admitted her as a patient under her patronage.
Ms Aree said she had planned to make the donation before she was injured. She was watching a fund-raising program on television. She phoned the program and decided to donate her monthly allowance.
" I could not go ahead as planned when I was wounded by the bomb," she said. "But I did ask my son to make the donation for me as I really wanted to help people suffering in the floods."
