To date. donations have reached close to $70.000. but hopes are high to raise much more. Indeed. the contributions collected at this upcoming event will be the icing on the cake. Every dollar contributed will boost the chances of a refugee being saved from Thai pirates and the treacherous waters of the South China Sea. For some of these refugees. the fate of freedom or death on the high seas is directly dependent on donations from the States. The proceeds will be entrusted to Medicins du Monde. a physicians league in Europe which sponsors ships to assist stranded vessels. The money is used for gasoline. oil. crew salary. food rations. rent. and maintenance of the Jean Charcot a ship of mercy chartered to patrol in the South China Sea.
