A BIG THANK YOU - read all about it...
An up-date from Eddie Haworth (Founder of Gift of Happiness Foundation) (AKA Clown Eckie)
This about me-me-me because I'm feeling a bit lost right now and wish to share my situation with all who read this up-date...
I was hurriedly evacuated from my home in Pathom Thani, 42 kilometers north of Bangkok last Friday and left with only a laptop that was broken during the packing and a very few clothes. I did manage to rescue a lot of the tools of my trade...Two clown costumes and most props that I use in my regular shows. - I was also happy to be able to take my neighbors (a family of three) with me in my high pick-up truck.
When we left our gated village and joined the road leading up-to the high level expressway. My truck almost drowned at one point when we passed through a dip in the road which brought the water half way up the doors! That was more than a bit frightening!
My home is now under who knows how many meters of flood water and I know I have lost most of the white goods in my kitchen, my washing machine and a number of irreplaceable clown costumes, as well as my tool room which is also on the same lower level of my house... Read more -- Big Thank You>>>

One of the flooded schools and communities that we support.
Wat Sam Ma Kan School near Ayutthaya, Thailand has been severely affected by flooding but the actual school rooms are built on high concrete stilts, so the schools equipment remains safe for the time-being.  We have been regular visitors to the school since 2009 and on our last visit in July 2011 we fitted new air conditioning units in the computer study room.  We understand the room is still dry and the fittings should be OK when the school is fit to re-open.

We finally have the mosquito nets for Mae Tao Clinic in Mae Sot, Tak province, North Thailand. - All paid for by some wonderful children and their parents from Thai Village in Bangkok. Thank you ‘Georgia – Alana – Jacquelyn and all the others who helped pay for these essential mosquito nets…They will help prevent some of the patients catching dengue fever, which could kill them as they are already sick!
Now we need to find a way to get them up-to Mae Sot through all the terrible floods on the main A1 highway?Anyone got a bigger truck than Eddie’s 4x4 or want to help pay our costs to take them as soon as the road is clear?
