The Soi Dog charity does marvelous work in saving abused and homeless dogs and cats and improving the welfare of dogs and cats in Asia, resulting in better lives for both the animal and human communities, to create a society without homeless animals, and to ultimately end animal cruelty.
Participants will assist the centre by socialising and walking the dogs and cats, as well as feeding and washing the animals and their living areas. To be adopted into homes, it is essential to teach the dogs and cats at the sanctuary to trust people and to teach the dogs to walk on a lead.
We will arrange for badly needed medical supplies and food to be brought by your team to make as a donation on the day of your event. Teams can also donate directly to the centre, and buy merchandise to support them.
In addition, there may be renovation tasks that need doing.
You can also adopt dogs and cats, as well as sponsoring them on an ongoing basis.
Finally people traveling out of Thailand can volunteer to be flight supervisors at no cost to help take adopted pets to their new homes.
Projects take place at the soi dog foundation in Phuket or Bangkok or similar foundation in other locations.
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.
