His Excellency Mr Paul Robilliard, the Australian Ambassador to Thailand was delighted to witness Eckie entertaining the children
Sunday 18/11/2018
A very early start for the Gift of Happiness volunteers who attended the annual "Convoy For Kids" event at Pakkret Home for physically challenged children, near Bangkok.
The GoHF Clown started to prepare for the day at 04.30am and arrived at the children's home a little later, around 06.45 am. Then he quickly set-up his "Walk-About Clowning Props", to start entertaining around 150 small wheelchair-bound children who were all lined-up ready to board a large convoy of busses for a big day out at Safari World, about an hours bus ride away from their home.
His Excellency Mr Paul Robilliard, the Australian Ambassador to Thailand was delighted to witness Eckie entertaining the children before they left, as did the main organiser of this major annual event, Mr David Mills...and of course the whole staff and volunteers who were doing their bit to help the children have a great day were in stitches, laughing at the Clowns buffoonery!

After the busses had all gone, Clown Eckie was delighted to give another, more interactive performance for the teenagers who are unable to travel to Safari world because of their restrictive disabilities. There was only a small group of young lads and lassies left behind, so that gave Eckie a great opportunity to do some rare one-to-one entertaining, that involved each of the young people becoming part of the show in their own unique way.
It has to be said that Eckie really loves to give his unusual gifts of happiness to young people who are so severely restricted. It's always very clear that they enjoy every minute to the full and we know it's something they will talk and think about for a very long time to come!
The Convoy for Kids organisation also made a generous donation of cash to the Gift of Happiness Foundation, in return for Eckie's performances and the money has already been earmarked for the purchase of 350 sets of new underwear for children in need served by the Gift of Happiness Foundation; http://www.gohappiness.org/underwear-for-needy-kids.html
