Some of the biggest stars in the scene are coming out to raise funds for the Thai people affected by the recent tsunamis...On Wednesday 12th January 2005, from 6pm to 6am the Gecko, Bophut Beach, Koh Samui, will be hosting a fund raising event where ALL PROCEEDS FOR THIS CHARITY EVENT WILL BE DONATED. DJ’s from across the land including Brandon Block, Clive Henry (Peace Division), Gee Moore (Bora Bora), Hoxton Whores, Jo Mills (DC10), Lisa Loud, Luke Carr (Kakabu), Nightmares on Wax, Oliver Lang (Bora Bora), Phat Phil Cooper, Rob Roar (Max Linen), Shovell (M People), Smokin Jo (NDSM), Tim Sheridan (NDSM), have donated their time to this special event.
Tsunami Dance Aid is a collective of international party promoters, artists, musicians and supporters of dance music. This collective have made their way to Gecko, at Bophut Beach, Samui to be part of a large scale dance party fundraiser to provide relief for the Thai people severely affected by the Tsunami.
Tsunami Dance Aid hopes to bring in donations from every corner of the globe, with proceeds going directly to the local people in need around Thailand due to the devastation of the Tsunami. Throwing this party on Bophut beach we will send a message of hope, peace & compassion to people everywhere, encouraging them to help rather than feel helpless through an avenue of donation where all proceeds will go direct to the source.
This event is not only for raising money for the people directly affected by the disaster, but to raise awareness that Thailand is NOT a barren country. The east coast of the country is still a thriving tourist destination. People need to understand that Thailand needs tourism now more than ever. It is hoped that hosting an event such as the Tsunami Dance Aid will raise awareness of this situation.
