Gift of Happiness Foundation is always keen to accept volunteers
who want to help the poor in Thailand.
We only need people whose prime aim is to "Unconditionally" help the people we serve in Thailand.
We already have a small team of regular volunteers.
They are all happy to give their time and skills as part time administrators, accountant, drivers, computer nerds and of course the Founder/Director Eddie Haworth (AKA Clown Eckie) is the main entertainer. We are all dedicated to maximising the help we give to needy children in Thailand.
There are varying numbers of other part-time volunteers in Bangkok, Mae Sot, Chiang Mai, Kanchanaburi, Ayutthaya and Mae Hong Son and even Phuket. All these people support us whenever we have aid & show giving tours in their region, or to organise collecting, sorting and redistribution of donated goods in Bangkok.
Want to Become a Genuine Volunteer to help the Poor in Thailand?
There are a lot of charities that charge volunteers who want to volunteer for them. Understandably charities worldwide desperately need donations and have to get funding however they can, but we understand that paying to volunteer is not everyone's idea of lending a helping hand.
We are one of the few charities that genuinely need people for free volunteering and we do not expect our volunteers to pay us a fee in return for a volunteer post at GoHF. We do request a modest donation towards the fuel and other costs incurred when volunteers wish to join us on one or more of our monthly aid & show giving project tours. Ask about this here

Volunteering in your own countryIf you live outside Thailand and wish to help us from your own country. You can help us a great deal by simply telling your friends at work, school or social network about the work that we are doing here in Thailand. Then try to organise some kind of fund-raising events in your home town and donate the proceeds to our organisation.

 Volunteers sorting goods for needy children We need help from entertainersProfessional entertainers with visual acts should have a good clean comedy act that you can present without the use of spoken language. Acts required are clowns, jugglers, uni-cyclists, acrobats, mime artists, magicians etc...(No language used in our shows…Unless you speak Thai or Sino-Tibetan family of languages).
Other entertainers have already helped us They have perform at slum schools, orphanages, hospitals and other places where children ordinarily would never get a chance to see these inane antics, or enjoy an afternoon of laughter and fun. The cheer and goodwill created is a priceless way to experience some of the 'real life' that expat's and visitors tend to overlook. Musicians We need musicians with portable instruments who can improvise around comedy shows. Acoustic musicians, brass, woodwind, percussion etc. 
Volunteer Entertainers are always needed

Volunteer by sponsoring a showSchoolchildren, local clubs, small companies and other groups often sponsor a show and also enjoy themselves with the other volunteers as 'Sponsoring Guests of Honour'.
We can promise you a truly unique experience. You'll feel good, do some good, and remember it for the rest of your life...And so will the children! Send us a message with details of when you would like to sponsor a show and we will be happy to arrange it for you. |
 Sponsoring a show can really make a difference to HUNDREDS of people! |
