Fordham continued to record , independently releasing a remake of her debut single " Happy Ever After " ( with the help of a children 's choir from a village near her hometown on the south coast of England ) in aid of Indian Ocean Tsunami relief . This was backed by two tracks written and recorded with Aadesh Shrivastava . The single was then released to download and made available to purchase on CD . The proceeds from the sales of the record helped to rebuild a school in Cuddalore , India . The recording in West Sussex , UK brought Fordham back full circle to where she first started writing and performing songs in local folk clubs as a teenager
