Participants travel to a local gibbon rescue sanctuary where they will learn about the background and plight of the gibbon, and how they are rescued, cared for and eventually released to their natural habitat. Participants will then take part in providing volunteer assistance to the sanctuary in whatever form is the most crucial at the time. Participants will also have the chance to observe and interact with the gibbons.
The challenges in the gibbon rehabilitation activity depend on the needs of the moment but typically involve doing repair work, area clean up, maintenance and feeding.
The location for the event is usually at a partner gibbon sanctuary.
Scoring and a winning team is not applicable as this is not a competitive activity, however this may be implemented upon the client’s wishes.
Insurance and instructor supervision are important safety factors with any event, and in the event of an emergency, transport and medical backup will be standing by.
The event briefing takes place at the activity location or the client’s hotel meeting room or lobby. In the briefing the group is separated into teams and introduced to the facilitators, then the lead facilitator gives an introduction of the event including instructions and objectives for the activity.
In the de-brief the lead facilitator goes through the event challenges and asks each team questions to assess their own performance before announcing and awarding the winning team if applicable.
There’s also time for providing further donations to the beneficiary and a group photo with the people of the beneficiary.
Briefing and de-brief usually take around 15 minutes each but can be extended upon request for more in-depth analysis of team performance.
The half day program takes up to 4 hours and the full day program up to 8 hours.
