Some very special Gifts of Happiness go to some very special people!
First thing Monday morning 27/04/15...Gift of Happiness Foundation started the final stage of a water pumping project which began last year when we built new toilets for the villagers at the remote Thailand Village of P’ Ya Naung. (The village name means “Buddha’s Mountain”).

Following the 7 hour drive from Bangkok to the border city of Mae Sot, Thailand.
Director Eddie Haworth and volunteer Amarin Nisasoka settled into the hotel and spent time helping the staff deal with the recent loss of Simon Balmer. |
"Simon always had a joke with these guys every time we arrived here"

28/04/15...The charity set-out to buy all the equipment needed to complete the water pumping project. But before we went to purchase and deliver of all this equipment, the charity paid it's usual monthly visit to Mae Tao Clinic to give them this months donations of essential goods that helps keep the whole clinic functioning and providing medical care to thousands of people every month of the year.
|
Gift of Happiness give to Mae Tao Clinic almost every month. This time it was a much needed Freezer and other essentials.
|
This month we gave them a new chest freezer for safe storage of important medical supplies and drugs, plus a couple of very useful air cleaning/filtering machines for the surgical rooms, a large donation of towels, bedding, slippers, adult clothing and even a load of used bags to hand out to the many out-patients attending the clinic every day.
Giving again to AGAPE Orphanage near Mae Sot
(Many of these goods came from the Park Plaza Sukhumvit Hotel in Bangkok. |
The charity was also happy to give around 50 kilo's of top quality Italian Pasta to AGAPE Orphanage and around the same amount of pasta went to the boys and girls dormitories in the Village where the water pump project took place. We also gave a load of linen, towels and and soft shoes for the children to use in their dormitories.
New bedding and towels and Pasta for kids living in basic village dormitories

28 & 29/04/15...With a wonderful grant provided by the BCTFN (British Community in Thailand Foundation for the Needy) The Gift of Happiness Foundation bought and delivered all the equipment needed to complete the new water pump project. The water pumping project is designed to help stop the hard practice of having girls and children from carrying heavy buckets of water from the village deep water well up hill to their dormitories and toilet/shower blocks.
Working on the installation of a brand new water pumping system.

From now-on they can have running water to bathe in.
|
Gift of Happiness Foundation makes a point of buying goods and equipment from local suppliers and always engage local companies to complete the work. Gift of Happiness Foundation supplied and acquired the use of all three trucks and paid staff needed for this job.
Last minute shopping for the concrete water pump base
Lots more electrical equipment need to power the pumps
|
Gift of Happiness Foundation purchased pumps, piping and fittings, plus a new secondary header tank to help with the ever growing size of the village population (Which now stands at just over 400 people). Then as we arrived with all the equipment to do the job, we soon discovered the project was starting to grow into something bigger than first planned.
We had already employed a firm of electricians to build the important new supply of power for the main pump, but it turned-out, they had much more work to do when we showed them the size of the new pump. Anyway...they soon started to revise their operational plans and the electricity supply was successfully up and running smoothly by the end of the project on Friday 01/05/15. "Well done to this great team of men" |
