The Children are educated at Wat Khwanchangok school in Saraburi province, north of Bangkok. The Head Teacher asked the Gift of Happiness Foundation to give all 400+ children the unique experience of one of the Charity's "Edutainment" fun days.
Eddie Haworth was delighted to say a resounding "Yes Indeed" when he discovered that mst if the children attending this school are coming from very poor communities located close to the school and the children are very keen to learn as much as possible in the hopes they will have a chance to escape the poverty they were born into.
