Gift of Happiness Foundation first visited Rong Wai Community in April 2017 when we produced an aid and show giving project that was supported by the District Officer, Khn Kin and his management team at Bangkok's Suan Luang Government District Office. We collaborated with the community leader and a wonderful lady, Khun Pratoom, who like Mother Teresa of Calcutta, cares for the poor families in this well hidden urban slum community.
The project was attended by eight Gift of Happiness Foundation volunteers and a very well known celebrity TV personality, Mr Andrew Biggs. |

These poor people get no support from anyone else?

On this occasion we delivered the goods as promised back in April when we made a commitment to start supporting the poor families who struggle to survive in this little known, unsupported community. We diced to offer material and sustainable support to the community because we knew that most material and financial support given by other charities, companies and social groups goes to the more well known slum communities and large orphanages located in a well established slum area in the City.
We hope to be able to give more sustainable support to these people again before the end of 2017, when we have collected another truck load of essentials to give them. See the footer below to help us keep-up this essential work! |
Meantime we are planning some more mega projects during August, September and right through to December 2017. We will be going to our usual stomping ground around the Northern Thai/Burma border city of Mae Sot and also visiting the hard to get too mountain town of Umphang where we will really need our 4x4 truck to deliver the goods deep inside the jungles. This place is one of those remote areas where the people living there have never even heard of slap-stick comedy shows and foreigners who give them #FREE clothing, educational supplies and much, much more!

Take a look at why many people already trust Gift of Happiness Foundation.
Gift of Happiness Foundation has been established as a properly registered charity in Thailand since 2009. The charity was originally registered in 2005 under the laws relating to a recognized body of persons just like many established loyal societies and other committees set-up to provide support for the needy in Thailand.
In March 2010 the charity was also honoured to be granted membership of the League of Foundations of Thailand under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
Gift of Happiness Foundation registration number: Kor Tor 1914. - Tax I.D: 0-9930-0009226-1.
Since those early first steps to become a trusted and transparent child support charity we have received numerous accolades and commendations from British, Australian, French, South African Ambassadors and a high level of trust from many respected companies and organizations (Not least our only corporate sponsor, Monroe Consulting Group).
We have also been properly vetted and approved to receive grants or donations from Charities Aid Foundation of America (CAFA), Exo Foundation, Boulevard De La Stim, Rotary Clubs, PayPal and Ammado Giving to Nonprofits.
