Gift of Happiness Foundation
Genuinely Providing for Poor People Living on Bangkok Garbage Dump and Slum Community
This week-long effort to give away so many important items has truly benefited some of the neediest people in Bangkok.
From Monday 19/02/18 to Friday 23/02/18, Gift of Happiness Foundation volunteers sorted and loaded the 'Happy Truck & Trailer' with 126 big bundles of of used clothing, bedding, towelling and 12 massive bags of toys. (And Ice-Cream for all those poor people living on the Dump!)
On the morning of Saturday 24/02/18, all those "Gifts of Happiness" were handed directly to the poor people who survive by raking through the garbage on one of Bangkok's largest open landfill trash dumps. And in the afternoon the poor people living in a Shantytown Community housing 200 people, not far from the Go Happiness Centre, received their large portion of very much needed goods as well!

GoHF Founder, Eddie Haworth and his happy team of volunteers personally handed-out all the goods to around 60 or 70 people who in-turn passed-on the goods to an estimated 1,000 poor people who are living in very harsh conditions at those two locations in the City of Bangkok.
