Celtic welcome Good Child Foundation to Paradise
By: Newsroom Staff on 20 Feb, 2012 12:42
CELTIC are delighted to announce that 40 children from the Good Child Foundation are to visit Glasgow between late April and early May 2012.
Affectionately known as ‘The Thai Tims’, the children have been taken to the hearts of the Celtic family after performing a number of songs about the Club.
Celtic will be making a contribution to enable the children to visit and supporters´ groups are also delighted to be involved in active fundraising to ensure that the trip is an unforgettable success.
Through the visit, the Good Child Foundation, the Club and our supporters will aim to raise funds to help children with Down’s Syndrome in Thailand, and also support the work of Down’s Syndrome Scotland, with whom Celtic enjoys an existing relationship.
The group will perform at a match at Celtic Park and will also appear in concert in Glasgow.
Celtic Chief Executive, Peter Lawwell, said: “We will be delighted to welcome the children to Celtic Park and we are sure they will enjoy this trip of a lifetime.
"The children have really made an indelible mark on the Club and the wider Celtic fanbase, through their magnificent support and this will be our opportunity to thank the children for all they have done.
“Celtic has always been much more than a club and through this initiative, the Club and its supporters will be working together for a magnificent cause."
Paul Lennon, from the Good Child Foundation, said: “The Thai Tims are an inspirational group of children who have reached out to people from across the world. Their upcoming visit to Celtic Park is an opportunity that would be beyond many of their wildest dreams.
"The children come from a rural province in South-East Thailand, where the majority of their parents are rubber plantation labourers. This work can mean families being separated, as parents have to leave the children with relatives so that they can travel to find work further afield.
“Many of the children also help on the plantations, working several hours before coming to school. This will be a trip to remember for these children and naturally, they are very excited about visiting Scotland.”
All of the major Celtic supporters’ groups have indicated their willingness to support the project and have offered their assistance and backing in making the initiative an overwhelming success.
Supporters can get involved by donating online here via text - Text CELT07 followed by £1, £5 or £10 to 70070 or through various initiatives that will be announced in the coming weeks.
You can also donate through the ´Every Click´ page HERE
The Celtic Supporters’ Association, The Affiliation of Registered Celtic Supporters´ Clubs, the Irish Association of Celtic Supporters´ Clubs and the North American Supporters´ Federation of Celtic Supporters are also supporting this fundraising effort and members can raise funds directly through these groups as well.

Sanctimonious nonsense about Celtic fans from ex-Ranger
I’ve read sanctimonious nonsense about how Celtic fans are enjoying these times, on how they should feel instead, and on how they will feel, one day. I’ve also read what utterings our chief executive and manager should limit themselves to.
Our manager and directors have so far said very little on the subject of Rangers, only responding to direct questions or when you, the Celtic fans, were brought into the debate, without reference to any of us, by the First Minister. Their response to Mr Salmond brought a swift and appropriate retraction.
It concerns me greatly that Scottish Premier League championships could have been won by a team playing improperly registered football players. It would concern me even more if my concerns, your concerns, were not shared by the people charged with speaking on our behalf. It is the responsibility of Neil Lennon and Peter Lawwell to leave no Celtic supporter in any doubt that they will vigorously pursue our supporters’ historical and future interests.
Mark Hateley’s piece on today’s Daily Record betrays a lot of hurt. He concedes this season’s title to Celtic, which he regards as “tainted”.
As someone suggested in the CQN comments section this week, “We don’t need your stinkin’ 10 point penalty”….. we have another 10 point lead in reserve.
Hately suggests you should have the “good grace” to move on as his club “attempts to battle for its very existence”, adding, “There is no need for the likes of Lennon and Peter Lawwell to continue to sink the boot in”.
We will move on once justice has been done and is seen to be done. Anyone who suggests otherwise, that somehow justice, the maintenance of ethical standards in the game, or even legality, are not things football fans, managers or directors should concern themselves with, has perhaps headed too many footballs in his time.
The coup-de-grace from Hateley was “So let Celtic get on with celebrating their title – a title they somehow failed to win throughout the last three years of financial troubles”. Does anyone believe Rangers would have won three leagues had they paid their tax instead of singing Jelavic, Lafferty, Davis, Edu, Naismith or Bougherra?
I think this guy is missing the point. If the First Tier Tribunal report confirms already-made allegations that Rangers improperly registered football players, this bling that Hateley is flashing in your face is ill-gotten.
The Celtic manager, directors and support, together with most others in Scottish football, have to ensure that Fifa rules on the registration of football players is not subverted.
