Great Challenges Overcome to Give Much Needed Happiness
in the Jungles and Islands of Thailand!
The charity served 1,600 people with essential clothing, educational supplies, new underwear, bedding, HAPPY SHOWS, office furniture and even luxurious sofa's for the teachers who work so hard to educate children living in very remote Thai villages.
The small charity convoy delivered tons more essential goods to some if the neediest children in Thailand living in the mountains and jungles close to the Thai/Burma border in an area north of Ranong, Thailand. Parts of the tracks leading to a couple of very remote villages are only accessible by 4x4s and modified vehicles like the Go Happiness specially prepared small trucks and trailer. |
These children have no smartphones or tablets!
There's no signal where they live anyway!
The show was hosted by the Baan Ban Tong primary school in Kathu, Phuket and was originally set-up to be performed for disadvantaged children and children-at-risk in Phuket some of whom are resident at the nearby Asia Center Foundation in Phuket.
All those children came on-time to see the show along with another bus-load of children and the Baan Ban Tong children who were delighted to see the "Big Fat HAPPINESS Show"! So we ended-up giving even more children than we planned a great dose of our brand of HAPPINESS MEDICINE in Phuket!
Goods given are perfect for the poor people we serve every month in other parts of Thailand. Goods are; Bedding, towels, Pillows, Cushions, Slippers, and other clothing in left luggage.
PLUS! A load of Brand New Clothing collected by the amazing staff and management at the wonderful hotels who supported this special aid giving project in Phuket!
