Friday 18 May 2012 - Gift of Happiness Foundation return to school in Sammut Songkram, Thailand.
We have another truck load of educational equipment, toys and clothing for the Baan Song Rong School, Laem Yai, Samut Songkhram, Thailand. We will deliver all these goods and an additional great donation of new educational books bought by Parents of Amnuaysilpa Bilingual school in Bangkok. This school is situated on the cost near the salt flats off the road to the popular tourist destination of Hua Hin. Unlike the seaside resort town, this is a very poor fishing community and many of the children are cared for by older siblings or grandparents, while the (Often single parents) are working long hard, low paid days in the local fishing industry.
They are very needy children and we aim to spend more time and effort providing as much as possible for them to help ease their way through school as they grow-up. We hope they will gain some degree of security knowing that they have our support when they need essential equipment, food and clothing. We believe that this additional security will make it easier for them to study and eventually escape the poverty trap through education.
Last time we visited the school, we bought enough rice to feed the children lunches for a month. With some help from YOU - We can do the same again...One large bag of rice last one week and costs 1,200THB ($39USD). We buy it locally, thereby helping the local economy as well as the children...
