Dr. Patch Adams M.D.
Founder and Director of Gesundheit Institute and Hospital
Arlington, U.S.A.:
"HAPPI Foundation proposes an important medical project. In a climate of arrogance and greed, Sifu Crockett has embarked upon a journey that is clearly bringing hope to our troubled profession and those we serve. Whoever supports the HAPPI Foundation Project and Sifu's work is investing in a desirable future."
"The Tweed Valley is a beautiful setting for the HAPPI Foundation Project. I imagine many more people travelling to the Tweed if such a facility were in existence. It is certainly a one-of-a-kind, and has my full support."
"Where to start? Indeed a question anyone who has met Sifu Crockett will surely ask. Rarely do we meet a person with the determination and dedication that is evident in this man. I have had the opportunity to discuss at length the HAPPI Foundation Project and the need for such a facility to exist.
"Sifu will succeed with this Project, just as he has with other significant achievements in his life. The difference with this project, is that its sheer size and far reaching effects mean that he cannot do it alone. All the benefits of this project will be claimed by those who need them most -- the critically ill and those who need but would not be able to afford treatment of this nature."
"I used to visit Sifu Crockett for treatment before venturing on my overseas teaching travels. What Sifu is doing is ambitious, even by my standards. The community needs 'radical' projects like this, driven by someone capable of success and not scared to do what seems impossible. His work is necessary and admirable."
"Sifu Crockett is a most interesting and honest person, with the good of his fellow men always kept in mind. There is no doubting Sifu's caring attitude to other people and the environment in general. The proposal at HAPPI Foundation will definitely benefit the community.
"There will always be a need for projects that offer care for the less fortunate, and are motivated by the desire to make an impact on suffering, rather than monetary reward. I believe that any assistance given would be well placed."
"I am a journalist and feature writer with the Gold Coast Bulletin, following many years on newspapers such as The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph. I met Sifu Crockett when doing a feature about him following the release of his book, 'Wisdom of the Waters,' and was impressed by his vision, by the calm aura of the man, and by his quiet but determined approach.
"What Sifu seeks to achieve with the HAPPI Foundation Project may sound idealistic, but it offers hope where hope may be what is needed most, and it proposes a lifestyle in which peaceful coexistence and respect for one's fellow man is a splendid alternative to today's lack of consideration for each other.
"Not everyone is prepared to chase and live a belief that their actions can make a difference in the world. Sifu is and does, and I believe he deserves the chance to present his offer to a community desperately in need of better values. Even if he were only to offer hope to despairing people with debilitating illnesses, he will be doing a service. I commend the HAPPI Foundation Project."
"My contact with Sifu Crockett leads me to believe that HAPPI Foundation is certainly of substance, and is worthy of support. No doubt his vision is large, but when further momentum is obtained, the Project will achieve its goals with the support of those behind it.
"Sifu is a capable and courteous professional. He fully understands the immensity of this project, and also the effort required to achieve it. I strongly recommend support for the Project so as to assist with it reaching its fruition."
"My introduction to Sifu Crockett came about because of a serious down turn in my own health. It is due to the healing powers of this man that I am alive today. Sifu is my teacher, my healer, and my friend. My involvement makes it difficult to not sound biased in anything I have to say about him. Sifu is an amiable fellow, and as professional as any I've known.
"HAPPI Foundation presents itself as a non-mainstream, multi-faceted facility with immensely broad appeal. For HAPPI Foundation to be able to meet the increasing need from the people, future expansion (including international) would appear to be absolutely necessary."
"The HAPPI Foundation Project is a very exciting one. The options offered by conventional medical 'wisdom' in the treatment of disease, often seem inadequate. HAPPI Foundation, an organisation committed to the holistic welfare of the community at large, can only be of benefit.
"If some day, somebody close to myself were to require medical treatment for serious illness, I know I would certainly appreciate the option to choose the non-harmful treatment practices espoused (and continually developed) by the HAPPI Foundation Project."
