Gift of Happiness Founder/Director. Eddie Haworth. (AKA Clown Eckie)
Early February 2015 started with business as usual at Gift of Happiness Foundation. The charity Clown performed for around 200 kids who were able to attend the annual Convoy For Kids Massive Day Out to a Bangkok Theme Park. We also collected over a ton of Pasta and about two tons of clothing, educational supplies, toys and other used goods to give to the poor.
The big show at Siam Safari World was held for kids coming from The Foundation for the Welfare of the Crippled Under the Royal Patronage of H.R.H. the Princess Mother. With quite a few more coming from the Klong Toey Presentation Slums Mission in Bangkok run by Sister Joan Evans. Then there were also a couple of minivan loads of orphans and poor kids from North East Thailand who were brought to enjoy this special day out by a generous Western expatriate who lives in Si Saket, North East Thailand.
| Mid February the Gift of Happiness Clown Eckie performed three shows in a row for the little ones in year one at Harrow International School in Bangkok. Clown Eckie receives sponsorship for Gift of Happiness Foundation in return for his three shows every year at the year One Fun Day and sleep-over. He also performs his unique lecture and show program for the older drama students and has given his Circus Skill workshops at the annual Churchill House Camps located in North East Thailand. | |
| Later in February we collected the first donation of goods and coins collected by the little boys and girls who attend Bromsgrove International Early Years School in Bangkok. The school holds an annual "Ring of Friendship" event where all the children chip-in a few coins to make patterns of flowers and hearts to be photographed and displayed at the school after the coins have been donated to Gift of Happiness Foundation...(This year it's around 12,000.00-THB!). | |
Gift of Happiness Foundation has postponed any further project tours in February 2015.
This situation is due to bereavement suffered since the loss of our dear friend and resident volunteer Mr. Simon Balmer.
Meantime We are hoping to resume normal operations with a visit to six schools near Mae Sot, North Thailand within the second week of March 2015. We have just over a ton of dried pasta and another couple of tons of clothing, toys and educational supplies to give more than 1,000 kids during that trip. "We need funding to complete that project".
