The Gift of Happiness Foundation paid another visit to a Slum Community located on wasteland behind Onnut Road in Bangkok. The Charity serves this particular community around 3 or 4 times a year with goods that no other organisation can provide.
On this occasion the charity gave a truckload of very important goods, like babywear and a highchair, clothing for adults and children, bedding, towels, soap, toys, books and several musical flutes for the children who are living under harsh conditions within the community.
Quick facts about funding for the Gift of Happiness Foundation...
In 2005, our Founder, Mr Eddie Haworth (Clown Eckie Corporation) provided more than 500,000-THB ($15,964-USD) as required in legal fees and Government registration fees to set-up the Thai registered charity, Gift of Happiness Foundation. Eddie also provided the main 4x4 off-road capable vehicle needed for the charity to bring essential goods to remote parts of Thailand. He still covers repayments and maintenance costs for the latest 4x4 vehicle, purchased in 2018 at a cost of ฿1.2 million-THB ($38,300-USD). The money for all this came and still comes from Eddie's earnings as a professional Entertainer and since 2018, from Eddie's British state pension.
Eddie is a Volunteer at the Gift of happiness Foundation and he has never received a salary. He is not allowed access to the Charity Bank Account which is governed by the Gift of Happiness Foundation's, all Thai Citizens Board of Trustees.
