This festive season,
the Blue Canyon Country Club is opening its doors and reaching out to the hearts of the
Tsunami survivors by organising Christmas parties specially for them. This is a continuation of
the country club’s efforts in providing aid and welfare to the Phuket community.
When the devastating
Tsunami first hit Phuket, Blue Canyon Country Club immediately swung into action, transforming the
club into a crisis relief centre. Bed linen, food and medical supplies were provided to thousands of stranded tourists and residents who lost their homes and families when the tidal waves struck on December 26, 2004.
In addition to monetary
contributions, Mr and Mrs Sia, owners of the Blue Canyon Country Club, also helped reconstruct about 20 houses in the Nai Rai village.
This season, the management and staff of Blue Canyon Country Club will come together to host a series of social gatherings for the residents of Phuket and to help the
needy during this time of the year.

The Country Club aims to organise a party for these children on a quarterly basis.
