Bangkok Slum Dwellers Get Help From HAPPINESS Charity
This one day aid giving project took place in two slum communities, both of which are close to the location of the Go Happiness Centre in Bangkok. GoHF Founder, Eddie Haworth organised a team of volunteers coming from the UK, Australia, Singapore and expats living in Thailand, to meet-up at the Gohappiness Centre for a briefing on the big day of giving to the poor slum dwellers in Bangkok.
The people at both places we visited were in great need of everything we gave them and they all shows amazing dignified appreciation of the goods and cash hand-outs that we gave them.
Cash was only given to those who had stayed in the slum to receive our visit instead of going out to collect scrap paper and glass for recycling...a thankless way of making a very small amount per day, but there's no social security payments here. That's why we help them!
We appeal for donors to give a couple of walking frames or other walking aids for some of the older people who cannot walk without such assistance. Please inbox [email protected] Thank you.

Here is a lovely text message received from a volunteer from Australia;
Morning, just wanted to say thank you for another eye opening day, a reality check on ones life. Always leave feeling good and want to do more. I hope the children’s clothes (given by my very privileged grandchildren) are given to Kids so deserving, knowing the list of places you visit, I’m sure they will. I know the toiletries will given to people in need, only a small contribution, but I am sure every little bit helps.
I look forward to seeing the amazing pics Nic took, and if it’s OK by you I may copy some of them to add to my photos. So till next time, take care, be well, luv from Sharon!
