How We Improved Happiness Levels at a
Hidden Bangkok Slum In Just One Day!
Friday 06/04/18; Gift of Happiness Foundation produced another aid giving project at a well hidden Bangkok slum.
The people who live in this slum (And most other Bangkok slums) are often seen pushing old hand-carts and collecting scrap cardboard, glass and metal. The ones who are unable to do that kind of work through old age or disability are mostly reliant on those who can.
Gift of Happiness Foundation (GoHF) gave a truckload of important goods like cooking equipment, food/candies, clothing for babies, children and adults, lots of bedding, towels and even a few electrical items like speakers and sound systems. All the goodies were very gratefully received and the GoHF Volunteers all ended the visit knowing they had indeed given a whole bunch of HAPPINESS to some people who normally have very little to make them feel HAPPY!

There are around 145 families living behind a row of semi-derelict old style wooden houses that have stood on that spot since the whole area now known as Onnut was nothing more than a swamp. The so-called dwellings that are hidden behind those old wooden houses are mainly constructed of rusty metal sheets, plastic coverings and used concrete blocks.
A GoHF Volunteers said; "We didn't see any real houses during our visit today, although there was a kind-of social area with an old white board for anyone who had enough education to try teaching the kids some basic reading and writing".
Most of the children are lucky enough to have a place at the nearby Wat Tai School and though uniforms and books are pretty-much unattainable, they receive at least a very basic education. Now they have a lot more educational supplies and comforting toys to help them, thanks to all the wonderful people who support Gift of Happiness Foundation!
