Go-Happiness Team Delivers Tons More Happiness'

The little Charity with a massive heart delivered yet another truckload of happiness to remote Thailand Villagers

The residents of Baan Yang Teay Village in Chaiyaphum Province were thrilled to receive another truckload of essential items, including learning materials, toys, mouthwash and plenty of clothing to keep them cosy and stylish for a long time.

Plus the whole village received enough mouthwash to last them until our next visit and best of all for the children, Clown Eckie, known as the the "Clown Prince of Thailand" gave a short but very funny performance for the children and a lot of the adults.

The incredible support of Mr. Jan Hansen and Monroe Consulting Group made all the happiness shared here possible.

We always welcome more sponsors like them! Email [email protected]

More than 300 large bottles of mouthwash went to Baan Yang Tai Kok Rang school as well as around 100 more that were given directly to the villagers before the Clown Eckie performance.

The Gift of Happiness Foundation was thrilled to have one of its latest volunteers, Mr. Simon Allen, join us. His wife, Ms. Kathryn Allen, is the Headteacher of the Primary Phase at Amnuaysilpa International School in Bangkok.

The school generously donated many toys and even made a cash contribution to assist with delivery costs. The villagers were overjoyed to learn that students from such a prestigious international school in Bangkok cared deeply about needy children living in harsh conditions in remote parts of Thailand.

Go-Happiness Volunteer Happy to help unconditionally!

Eddie also took the opportunity to give away some of his hat collection to a group of ladies who are all the same age as he is and in great need of some sun-shade in the remote community... He also gave away his old walking cane to someone who's need is greater than his, since he had some leg surgery in April 2024.

Now, sit back and enjoy a gazillion pictures of HAPPINESS that were created by the
Gift of Happiness team yet again in the Land of Smiles...

Bangkok Slums Receive Happiness Again

ESSENTIAL AID GIVEN AT THE GO-HAPPINESS CENTRE ALMOST DAILY

SINCE 2003
EDDIE HAWORTH FRSA PERSONALLY GIVES ESSENTIAL AID TO LOW EARNERS ($2.00 P/Day) AND SLUM DWELLERS IN BANGKOK.
Go-Happiness Manager, Khun Karn gives even more when Eddie is not able to do it himself.

Monthly Happiness Given Freely at Bangkok Slums

24/11/2024.

The Gift of Happiness Foundation is dedicated to serving the needy in overlooked slum communities, often bypassed by larger NGOs that focus on well-known slums around the Port of Bangkok.

Our little worthwhile charity frequently reaches hidden shanty-town slums outside the city centre, providing support to small, often unnoticed communities with very needy families who receive little to no help from other organisations.

A big thanks to our sponsors, Mr. Jan Hansen and Monroe Consulting Group in Bangkok. Their support has enabled us to deliver more essentials to one of the slum communities we regularly serve in the Suanluang district of Bangkok.

Special thanks to our dedicated staff and volunteers, particularly Khun Karn (Somkhuntod Karnjana), who tirelessly coordinates collections, handles regular monthly deliveries of donated goods, and sorts everything full-time at the Go Happiness Centre in Bangkok. Your contributions are truly invaluable!

It's challenging to find information on the locations of Bangkok's hidden slums. The Gift of Happiness Foundation is always eager to learn about communities with fewer than 100 families in the Onnut, Udomsuk, Bangna, and surrounding areas.

The Gift of Happiness Foundation
Has Been Spreading Joy Again in Bangkok

Just Like They Have Been Doing Since 2005

The Gift of Happiness Foundation has been a beacon of hope for the residents of a lesser-known slum in Bangkok since 2005.

In their latest visit, Eddie Haworth FRSA, along with two new Go-Happiness Volunteers, Kathryn Allen (Head Teacher at Amnuay Silpa School) and her husband Simon, joined forces to spread joy and support.

Eddie is captured here delivering an inspiring presentation to the students at Amnuay Silpa School, where he was invited to share the impactful work his charity does for some of Thailand’s most vulnerable communities.
The students are now rallying together, collecting cash and essential goods for Eddie and his dedicated team to distribute to those in need during November and December 2024.

ALL GIFTS OF HAPPINESS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED HERE!

Quote Wikipedia:
Khlong Tan is a minor tributary of Khlong Saen Saep that connects to Khlong Phra Khanong (currently considered part of Khlong Saen Saep) that flows through this area. The longest canal in Thailand with distance is 72 km from the downtown Bangkok to the east in Chachoengsao province. Khlong Saen Saep was dug during the reign of King Nangklao (Rama III) in the early Rattanakosin period.
Most of the workmen are Muslims from southern Thailand, including the Malay Peninsula. When the canal was finished he allowed these Muslims to settle down the length of the canal, ranging from the present-day Bobae neighbourhood (the end of Khlong Maha Nak area and Khlong Saen Saep is a continuation) in Pom Prap Sattru Phai district hereafter.
The canal divided into two phases; Khlong Saen Saep Tai (คลองแสนแสบใต้, "south Saen Saep"), also known as Khlong Bang Kapi, this phase has an end at Khlong Tan; and Khlong Sean Saep Nuea (คลองแสนแสบเหนือ, "north Saen Saep") is a phase that continues from Khlong Tan as far as terminates at Chachoengsao province where it confluence Bang Pakong river.

Solar Lights Underwear and Education in Thailand

Shining lights on the Police Border Patrol Schools in the Jungle along the Thai/Burma Border...

The Thai Border Patrol Police was organized in 1951 with assistance from the United States Central Intelligence Agency. Although technically part of the Royal Thai Police (RTP), the BPP has always enjoyed a great deal of autonomy within the national headquarters as well as in its field operations. The royal family was a principal patron of the organization. This traditional relationship benefited both the palace and its paramilitary protectors. In the past, many BPP commanders were former army officers. Nowadays, all BPP officers and commanders only have police background.

The Boarder Patrol Police Force has been guiding the Gift of Happiness Foundation leader, Eddie Haworth FRSA and his dear friend, volunteer and sponsor, Mr Jan Hansen through the jungles again along the Thai/Burma border in the Pranburi district of Thailand.

BRAND NEW SOLAR LIGHTS FOR ALL THE CHILDREN TO HELP THEM STUDY AFTER DARK

A large donation of solar lights have been given by https://www.solarbuddy.org/ to
all the children at the Police Border Patrol School.

Solar Buddy's mission is to illuminate the futures of children through the gift of light, they are a small team of 8 based in Australia with one team member based in northern Thailand. Their corporate partners and schools pay to assemble the lights and we then work with over 40 local charity partners across the world to gift them to children and communities who do not have access to clean, reliable energy.

ESSENTIAL NEW UNDERWEAR FOR
ALL THE CHILDREN!

MASSIVE THANKS!

From Babywear to Laptops in Bangkok

7/19/2024

The Gift of Comfort and Connection
Impacting Lives with Compassion

Khun Parichat from Bangkok donated wonderful babywear to help needy families in Thailand

When donors contribute babywear, those tiny onesies, soft blankets, and snug booties they’re not merely giving fabric; they’re weaving a cocoon of care. Here’s how their generosity ripples through lives:

Warmth and Safety: For new-borns and infants, warmth is more than physical, it’s emotional. Donated baby clothes provide snugness, shielding little bodies from the chill. Babies swaddled in love feel secure, and that sense of safety extends to their caregivers.
Financial Relief: Parenting is a beautiful journey, but it can be financially daunting. Babywear donations ease the burden. Families facing economic challenges can focus on nurturing their little ones rather than worrying about clothing expenses.
Community Bonding: When a community rallies around its tiniest members, bonds strengthen. Donors become part of a collective hug, a network of compassion. And as babies grow, they’ll carry this sense of belonging with them.
Memories and Milestones: That tiny hat? The onesie with the whimsical print? These become cherished memories. Babywear holds stories, the first giggle, the messy meal, the sleepy cuddles. Donors contribute to these precious moments.

Laptops: Unlocking Doors to Knowledge

Two Young Scholars Grateful for Their New Laptops

In these snapshots, hope gleams in their eyes, the promise of knowledge, the click of keys, and the world unfolding before them. These students, once without access, now hold their digital passports to learning.

Empowering Minds, One Device at a Time...
Donating laptops isn’t just about hardware; it’s about opening doors to opportunity. Here’s how laptops transform lives:

Education Beyond Boundaries: Imagine a child in a remote village, eyes wide as they explore the digital world. Donated laptops bridge the digital divide. They bring textbooks, interactive lessons, and virtual libraries to places where physical resources are scarce.
Skills for Tomorrow: Laptops aren’t mere screens; they’re portals to skills. Learning coding, graphic design, or language proficiency becomes possible. These skills empower recipients to dream bigger—to create, innovate, and connect globally.
Health and Well-Being: Laptops facilitate telemedicine, health awareness, and mental health support. A click away, a world of wellness resources awaits. Whether it’s tracking vaccinations or seeking mental health advice, laptops play a vital role.
Community Development: Laptops empower local entrepreneurs, students, and change-makers. They enable research, collaboration, and sustainable projects. A donated laptop isn’t just a device; it’s a catalyst for progress.

The Ripple Effect As the Gift of Happiness Foundation orchestrates these acts of kindness, the ripples spread. Donors touch lives they may never meet, and recipients—whether swaddled in babywear or typing on a laptop, carry that impact forward. So, next time you see a tiny sock or a refurbished laptop, remember: You’re part of a beautiful chain. Your generosity echoes through time, weaving a tapestry of hope and connection.
