Bangkok Artist Gives 100% of His Work to Charity!
Art For Charity.
The Sukhothai Bangkok collaborated with one of Bangkok's most admired artists, photographer, and poet #BoazZippor when they hosted a VIP Opening Reception including members of the Russian Orthodox Church Male Voice Choir, local TV celebrities, a Classical pianist coming fresh from playing in Carnegie Hall N.Y.C and locally well respected Cellist.
The first pictures were sold within minutes of the grand opening and things just got better from that moment on as more pictures were sold or reserved. The Hotel Chefs provided a never-ending free flow of top quality food and drinks for everyone throughout the event and the Hotel staff went way beyond the call of duty to make sure that all the guests were happy to have attended the event.
Around 7.30 pm the raffle tickets were drawn by Founder of The Gift of Happiness Foundation, Mr Eddie Haworth and there was lots of excitement as more than 20 fantastic prizes were handed directly to the winners who were still enjoying the high-class hospitality provided by the Sukhothai.
The exhibition and sales of the artwork continued until the 31st August, then the Sukhothai management was able to take great pleasure in sending all 100% of the proceeds totalling 67,900-THB ($2,221.00-USD) directly to the Gift of Happiness Foundation Registered Charity Bank Account.
Meantime, Eddie Haworth, on behalf of all the needy people served by the Gift of Happiness Foundation is delighted to offer his most sincere thanks and appreciation to all the amazing people who have helped make this event such a great success!
In 2005, our Founder, Mr Eddie Haworth (Clown Eckie Corporation) provided more than 500,000-THB ($15,964-USD) as required in legal fees and Government registration fees to set-up the Thai registered charity, Gift of Happiness Foundation. Eddie also provided the main 4x4 off-road capable vehicle needed for the charity to bring essential goods to remote parts of Thailand. He still covers repayments and maintenance costs for the latest 4x4 vehicle, purchased in 2018 at a cost of ฿1.2 million-THB ($38,300-USD). The money for all this came and still comes from Eddie's earnings as a professional Entertainer and since 2018, from Eddie's British state pension.
Eddie is a Volunteer at the Gift of happiness Foundation and he has never received a salary. He is not allowed access to the Charity Bank Account which is governed by the Gift of Happiness Foundation's, all Thai Citizens Board of Trustees.
This is where our 100% pledge comes in.
In 2014, our inspirational gold sponsor, Monroe Consulting Group gave Gift of Happiness Foundation the gift of a brand-new truck and a pledge to provide monthly cash donations to cover the Gift of Happiness Foundation’s core running costs.

So it's Thanks to the generous support of Monroe Consulting Group, 100% of the money you give to Gift of Happiness Foundation does go directly to Gift of Happiness Foundation projects and not to overhead or administrative costs.
