Go Happiness Director is OVERWHELMED by the surprise of the year!
Eddie Haworth (AKA Clown Eckie) has quite simply been overwhelmed by the generosity showered on the charity that he's so passionate about. In the last week or so there's been a fantastic response to the heartfelt appeal by Eddie via a Crowdfunding organisation to raise funds for his annual "Big Cooking Christmas Day" at an Orphanage.

The teachers and children at this school have a knack of surprising Go Happiness Director with overwhelming gifts time after time for the past couple of years!
THANK YOU Charter International School!
The appeal target was reached and breached a couple of weeks ago but people are still giving more than Eddie could have ever imagined. Today, Eddie was quite simply bowled-over by the most unexpected surprise of being presented with enough money to cover the costs of a whole "Aid & Show giving Project like this"...PLUS another truckload of amazing toys, clothing and educational supplies.
Best gift of all was a genuine warm fuzzy feeling of innocent love being passed from the children at Charter International School...To the poor children who will receive each of the gifts they so lovingly collected for this special day of giving.
Special thanks to Teacher and amazing lady! Ms Louise Samuels.

This time the gifts-a-plenty came from Amnuay Silpha School in Bangkok...With the great help of a parent and regular supporter of the charity through her work at Len Penn Music Academy. Amnuay Silpha is the same school that supported Gift of Happiness Children a few years ago when their Drama students laid-on a brilliant production of the stage play, Peter Pan for two big bus loads of very poor children we brought from near Ayutthaya into Bangkok for...Link; A fun day they still remember today!

The Regent's School of Bangkok gave so many learning books and other educational supplies that, Director Eddie Haworth and volunteer Martin Kneath had to take two truckloads back to the new Go Happiness Centre warehouse in Bangkok.
Other volunteers have been working very hard to get all these great educational supplies, clothing and toys sorted into the right size bags and packages. All this and lot more will be handed onto the poor children at 7 locations near Nakhon Sawan, N Thailand, during the second week of December. |
Thank you so much to all the children and teachers at Regent's School, Bangkok

Len Penn Music Academy, Bangkok has been supporting Gift of Happiness Foundation since way back in 2011. The Director at this fabulous seat of musical learning has given so much help that we can't even start to list so many acts of genuine kindness.
Suffice to say... |
This is our main drop-off point in central Bangkok where we collect a truck full of goods donated by people from all over the city, every couple of weeks. This week was no exception and when Eddie Haworth arrived to collect this weeks donations, he was bowled-over yet again at the site of so much important stuff that's been lovingly given to the poor children we serve here in Thailand.
We will never tier of saying thank you to Len Penn and all those amazing people who give so much, so often! THANK YOU!

Just a note from our Founder...
|
Positive experiences like having a good old-fashioned laugh helps children living in difficult circumstances to cope and gives them a positive memory that will always belong to them.
Seeing and interacting in educational comedy helps children to use their senses and minds to explore then make sense of what they see, feel and experience in the world around them. |
These simple lessons on how to think "out of the box" have been shown to help children find new and positive ways to turn a bad situation into a good one.
Lessons on how to be happy also help develop positive dispositions and attitudes towards learning many other life skills needed to overcome some of the difficult tasks ahead.
And Finally...
When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is going to be a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.
Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly.
CHOOSE HAPPINESS!
