Here's part of an email to Operations Director - Eddie Haworth, from the Gift of happiness Foundation Lawyer...
Dear Eddie,
This is a really unbelievable life at the Wat Both Woradith, Tambol Pamok, Angthong province.
Reading this just have made me cry.
Is there any way we could help?
400 children at this temple orphanage are starving and in great need of clothing and basic hygiene products. The old Abbot and other monks at the temple (Wat) are loosing their battle to keep these orphaned children fed and clothed. The situation has reached crisis point and they are desperately in need of help from anyone can give it.
Gift of Happiness Foundation is a small charity with no corporate sponsorship and no money available to help these poor children. That's why we are appealing to YOU to help us provide some essential short term help for them.
Right now...
We need to help the children as soon as possible by giving them rice, clothes and soap.
How you can help...
* You can buy a large bag "40kg" of Rice and tinned food with a high protein content (Fish etc).
* Give us your used children's clothing, shoes, towels and bedding.
* Empty your bathroom cupboards and give us all those old toiletries.
Where to send it...
See our contact page for our office address where you can drop-off your donations.
Send money so we can buy food and deliver it to the children...For around 1,000 Baht we can buy one bag of rice...Another 500 Baht will buy enough tinned food for one child for one month.
Please send as little or as much as you can afford to help these children.

Thank you.
Up-date...
We are already trying to secure long term care of the children from a larger NGO with enough resources to secure the children's welfare in the future.
