Wat Sam Ma Kan School - Thursday 10th May 2012. We are delighted to say that we have acquired 10 computers after many long negotiations between us and our great friend from the Liverpudlian-side-of-down-town Perth - Australia...
'The Great Mrs. Debbie Singh' and all the Rotarian's from Wanneroo Rotary Club have brought all this equipment over from the land down-under, so that our children can learn modern-day skills that may enable them to escape the poverty trap that they and their families are in.
This important donation of computers and flat-screen monitors is the biggest single donation of such equipment that the school has ever had and they are absolutely delighted to have received these gifts. The new computers are now placed in a special computer studies room that we equipped with good air-conditioning and insulation - Funded by a cash donation from the BCTFN (British Community in Thailand Foundation for the Needy).
Gift of Happiness Foundation also gave another truck load of toys, educational equipment and about half a ton of Thai teaching and colouring books.
We arranged a VIP bus to leave the Dusit Thani hotel in Bangkok and we handed-over the computers and all the other donations on arrival to our school in Ayutthaya.
There was much fun and frivolity as well as some serious Monk blessings and 'Thank-You's' for a couple of hours...All this was followed by a funny show by Clown Eckie. Then some serious eating, drinking and more fun with the Antipodean Rotarian's at a wonderful riverside restaurant...Then a sleepy trip back to the Dusit Thani Hotel in Bangkok, just in time for afternoon tea...
Thank you to all who attended and helped make this day one of the most memorable days in the lives of our children in Ayutthaya!
Thank you - Edward Haworth. Founder/Director - Gift of Happiness Foundation
