The idea of starting this charity was born in 1992 by British and Swedish born circus performers, Mr & Mrs Eddie & Charlotte Haworth when they ran circus training workshops for disadvantaged kids in Liverpool, UK. In 2000, Eddie was invited to perform at a charity event held at the British Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand.
Following that performance and a few more for the slum kids in Bangkok, it was quickly decided to bring more gifts of laughter and educational entertainment to orphans and poor families in Thailand through simple interactive and educational comedy shows for those whose lives quite often contain little joy.
The Foundation help orphans, vulnerable street children, Bangkok slum dwellers, families living in garbage dumps, AIDS centres and facilities housing physically or mentally challenged children and regularly serve medical centres, crisis centres for abused women, communities of migrant worker families and people displaced by civil war who live in refugee camps by giving away tons of essential goods during aid giving projects, delivered where it's needed most and at least once every month of the year.
Now supported by a team of dedicated volunteers, the Gift of Happiness Foundation is not tied to supporting just a few children at only one location. Therefore, this unique charity has the freedom to provide joy to thousands of children in urban and remote locations throughout the country.
Since 2010, the Gift of Happiness Foundation has served the community with humble dedication, and to celebrate a decade of providing happiness, The Sukhothai Bangkok had the honor of hosting this remarkable charity event at its ballroom on Thursday, February 6, 2020.
The Gift of Happiness Foundation 10th Anniversary Charity Event was attended by both private and public organizations who joined hands and successfully raised more than THB 100,000, including an auction raffle prize for a three night stay at any of the Small Luxury Hotels of The World’s desirable collection of over 500 independently spirited hotels in more than 80 countries around the world.
This amazing evening would not have been possible without the numerous guests of honor from various communities who truly expressed their support and take inspiration from the foundation’s motto, “We all laugh in the same language”. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who joined the event and made a real difference with their generous donations.
