Our Journey to Nakhon Sawan
On Monday 7th November, 2016, Anne Bailey, Sharon Skovron, Gale Bailey MBE and Sue Steel left Bangkok with Edward "Eckie" Howarth from the Gift of Happiness Foundation, we drove almost 4 hours north west to Nakhon Sawan. Our first school stop was at Pak Nam Pho, where we were greeted by 50 very excited children of various ages, the smiles on their faces just melted us all. We delivered donations of clothes and educational material which was very well received. After some singing and lots of laughter each child was treated to an ice cream, the smiles got even bigger. Who enjoyed the visit more........children or adults.......?
After an overnight stay, we were lucky enough to be able to do it all over again. The next school just a short distance away, this time 24 smiling faces greeted us. Once again we did a little routine of singing The Wheels on the Bus, Old Macdonald, If your Happy and you know it, the children were so excited they in turn sang to us in there own language of Thai. We again repeated the treat of ice creams all round and the generous donations of clothes and educational material. We left the school with lots of waving and blowing of kisses.
We then jumped in the "Gift of Happiness" car to make our way back to Bangkok. The talk in the car was tinged with a mixture of emotions, although our aim was to donate goods to the children's school, we personally came back with only positive thoughts of the work that this Foundation provides and it was such a privilege to be included on this road trip. We felt humbled by this experience.
Thank you Eddie for allowing us to be part of your journey.

07/11/16; Gift of Happiness Foundation visited Wicha Wadi School which is located near the source of the Chao Phraya River near Nakhon Sawan. A school of about 60 children aged from 4 to 12, with a dedicated team of teachers who clearly cared for the children. The head of the school has managed to obtain sponsorship from some of the big companies nearby and also the local community who donate some of their takings from selling food to the school.

Go Happiness providing essentials for very poor children in Thailand educational aid
|
08/11/16; Gift of Happiness Foundation visited Darun Suksa School is situated of one of the main streets of Nakhon Sawan behind some shops. A school of about 35 children aged 4 to 12. A very poor area and a school with very few facilities let alone educational resources. Again we were taken by the dedication of the head and his staff.
Go Happiness know that both schools being visited on this project are very much in need of educational supplies, so this is the first opportunity for us to give these important supplies since our last visit in September 2016. |
