Aid and Happiness for People who Live on the Garbage Dump

The Gift of Happiness Foundation founder, Mr Eddie Haworth produced another aid giving project in support of the people who live on a landfill garbage dump near Samut Prakan, Bangkok.
The Gift of Happiness Foundation founder, Mr Eddie Haworth produced another aid giving project in support of the people who live on a landfill garbage dump near Samut Prakan, Bangkok.
On this occasion, Eddie gave 140 kilos of rice, a large amount of clothing, bedding, towels and soft toys for the children. The people served here are living in some of the worst possible conditions imaginable and some of the older residents of this dump have been trapped by poverty and lack of education on the dump for over 30 years.
Eddie is delighted to support the people who live on this particular dump since he recognised the fact that the people here are pretty much uneducated and through no fault of their own they have ended up living on the dump simply because there is no other place for them to go.
Unfortunately, there have recently been a few families evicted from the landfill site because the owners of the land are planning to build a factory on the land.
The remaining families are now desperately looking for a new place to live and Eddie is powerless to help, except for maintaining his commitment to give as much aid as he can to the very needy people at least until they relocate maybe to another dump. Then Eddie and the Gift of Happiness Foundation will be happy to continue supporting the people of the dump for as long as the Charity keeps receiving donated goods for Eddie to pass-on to needy people in Thailand.
Here is where YOU can give your unwanted goods;

Quick facts about funding for the Gift of Happiness Foundation...
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.
