foodpanda Thailand joins Gift of Happiness Foundation to give happiness to migrant children

BANGKOK - Oct. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- According to a report by the International Organization for Migration, there are more than 30,000 migrant children living in Thailand. Although some of them were born and have been raised in Thailand, they have more limited access to welfare and social support than local children.

foodpanda Thailand, the leading global online food delivery marketplace, realizes the need to support these children and intends to help build their self-confidence and sense of inclusion. Through collaboration with the Gift of Happiness Foundation, a registered non-profit organization under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, a ‘Uniforms for Needy Kids Appeal Project’ has been organized to give away special foodpanda-themed uniforms to children at migrant schools in Mae Sot, Chiang Rai province.

Mr. Alexander Felde, Co-Founder and Managing Director of foodpanda (Thailand) stated, “At foodpanda, we believe everyone deserves to be happy. We deliver happy meals of your choice directly to your doorstep. When it comes to migrant children, we believe that being accepted and treated equally can and will make them happy too. Therefore, we’ve joined hands with the Gift of Happiness Foundation to donate uniforms and supplies to migrant children in seven schools located in the northern part of the country, including Hope Learning Center, St. Peter Learning Center, Sauch Kha Hong Sar Learning Centerand New Road Learning Center.”

Edward Haworth, Director at the Gift of Happiness Foundation said, “The Gift of Happiness Foundation is fully committed to providing sustainable happiness to thousands of children in urban and remote locations throughout the country. This time we are donating happy, themed uniforms to kids with support from many organizations including foodpanda. We believe this is an important gift of happiness for extremely resource-challenged migrant children.”
