Gift of Happiness Foundation giving thousands of uniforms since 2009
Uniforms are not just for school.
 | We believe that the gift of uniforms is a really effective way to give poor children a little dignity and self confidence anywhere they gather together (in or out of school). Children wearing these hard wearing, easy clean uniforms are more likely to stay free from name calling or bullying and can confidently get-on with their studies and group activities without worrying about looking different. |
Gift of Happiness Foundation is delighted to announce
the order for 500 new uniforms for needy kids in Thailand.
We appealed for people to buy 500 new uniforms for some of the children we regularly help at schools close to the Burma border in Northern Thailand. Now we are delighted to announce that the uniforms are ordered from an ethically sound manufacturer located close to our Bangkok warehouse. We are also very happy to give this small local company and their employees an opportunity to supply the children in need with such important clothing. "A Real Win-Win Situation for Everyone!"
Gift of Happiness Foundation Delivering the Goods Every Month in Thailand
September 2014. Aid, Uniforms & Show Giving Project Overview:
The prime aim of this project is to supply 500 new uniforms to children who live in some of the poorest communities in Thailand.
This five day trip departing Bangkok on 15/09/14 will include visits to six migrant schools in communities close to the Thai/Burma border, but within 50 kilometres of Mae Sot. We will also visit a Crisis Centre for women and children with HIV/Aids and the Mae Tao Clinic before we return to Bangkok on 19/09/14.
There are eight of the Gift of Happiness Foundation team attending this project, including the foundation Director, cameraman, project treasurer, translator, two general assistants and two paid drivers. "New volunteers may still apply".
As usual, we will be using a truck sponsored by the GOHF Director to transport donations and some volunteers on this trip. We have also organized two extra vehicles to carry all the uniforms, used clothing, educational equipment and other goods.
Gift of Happiness Foundations is totally committed to “Giving Happiness”!
We will produce “Happy Clown Performances” at each school where we have not already performed in the last year. We estimate 1,000 children will be entertained and enthralled throughout the week of this project and we also aim to give ice-creams and candies on the big days of our 'Happy Tour'. (Donations needed)
"Thank You" to All Sponsors.
Uniforms are sponsored by many friends of the charity from Thailand and all over the world via the ‘Uniforms for Needy Kids Appeal’. Orders also came from Bangkok St. Georges Society, Bangkok British Women's Group and even more orders came from companies like; ENJO - foodpandaThailand - Bei Otto, Bangkok & Len Penn Music Academy, Bangkok.
Toys, clothing, educational equipment and some medical supplies were donated by the children of International Schools in Bangkok, Len Penn Music Academy, Park Plaza Sukhumvit Hotel, Harrow International School plus hundreds of items donated by many individuals and families in Bangkok and other cities worldwide.
Volunteers are welcome.

Note to volunteers;
All the people we visit are living in very poor or desperately poor situations and volunteers assisting on this project must be prepared to experience some sights that may be uncomfortable. Since 2005, we have learned that dealing with migrant communities and refugee camps, nothing ever goes strictly according to plan, but it usually ends-up OK at the end of the day. Therefore, volunteers must be prepared for last minute changes.
With your help, we can continue our monthly aid giving projects to help the children.
