Happiness is Given Freely to People in Need!
The families live close to Bangkok (Near Samut Sakhon) and normally work at a factory that produces car parts. But since late March 2020, the factory has been closed so the families have not been paid for many weeks.
Happily, the factory has now reopened, and the workers will soon start to receive their regular salaries. But they have been unable to maintain a decent standard of clothing (apart from their working uniforms provided by the factory) and the children have not had any toys to play with until now. |
The Gift of Happiness Foundation has already given a large amount of food and hygiene products to every family a living in the basic tin hut accommodation provided by the factory owners.
All this was paid for by the amazing children, parents and teachers at St Andrews 107 International School in Bangkok. |
The wonderfully dedicated Go-Happiness staff (and some of their family, as volunteers) returned to the factory-tied community village on the 9th of July to give the people another truckload of essentials and here are a few pictures of the goods being handed directly to the people...
The Gift of Happiness Foundation simply could not continue giving unconditional aid to the may thousands of needy people in Thailand without the amazing support of MONROE CONSULTING GROUP.
