Advertising for donations to hospital
A hospital in Bangkok, Thailand has recently launched a campaign for contributions to help run the hospital more effectively so that the public can benefit from this health-care provider. So the hospital came up with a short logo for the campaign in Thai language followed by a short message in English to emphasize the point. This is the logo:
" ??????? ??????? MORE GIVE...MORE GET.."
The English message is the direct translation from Thai, word for word.
Personally, I think this is wrong and the proper message should be "The more you give the more you get."
I would like to listen to comments before I contact the hospital to make corrections. By the way I am a Thai citizen with some English background.

" I agree, Surapon. If they wish to shorten it, it would be 'Give more, get more'.
