Haile and the Happy Organization are inspiring young people to live happier, healthier and more purposeful lives. The impact of the Organization is powerful! I’m so impressed with this young lady and all that she has accomplished in her short 16 years.

We had the pleasure of hearing Haile speak at an event recently. Her mission to teach children about healthy eating habits is admirable. Haile's enthusiasm and concern for the health of others is contagious. We look forward to seeing her work in the future.

I was first introduced to Haile Thomas, founder of the Happy Organization when she was ten years old and gave a TED talk on GMOs and was very impressed with her knowledge and confidence. I have since watched her begin the HAPPY Organization and have continued to be impressed by her love of serving and helping our youth become aware of the importance of healthy eating and healthy activity. She is an unstoppable force and has been extremely creative in her approach to working with other young people, making activities fun and delicious. And I am not the only one who is aware of Haile's talents. Those include First Lady Michele Obama, the Clinton Global Foundation helping to fight childhood obesity and Deepak Chopra. Haile has taught hundreds of our youth inspiring them to lead healthy lives. And she is unstoppable in her desire to continue learning and educating.

I have had the honor of working with The Happy Organization and Thomas family for the past three years. They are quality people who are passionate about their work. Through their passion they educate and inspire those around them.

The children who have participated in the summer camp program at the J have been inspired to make positive changes.

Additionally, I was pleased with the level of follow through and delivery of service

The happy organization is one of the best organization I have had the pleasure to work with. To see what they do to teach kids about being healthy and the devotion they interact and help the community is truly amazing. It takes a positive mind set to do what they do and I wish the happy organization nothing but success and the drive to keep doing what they do.

HAPPY Has a fantastic mission with an exceptional leader. Inspirational and dedicated to making life better for youth and their parents. Haile has a unique speaking ability that encourages listening and lasting interest. Her classes are engaging and work to establish a connection to the food we eat and the communities we live in.
I have cooked beside her, I have fallen in love with meals prepared by her and I watched adventurous and weary children alike gobble up every bite she created.
Thank you for all you do! Wishing many fortunate blessings along your journey. Renee Kreager
