The Experience

📍 The project is located in Phang Nga, 20 min. from Phuket We’re building new shelters for rescued street dogs. Two dog houses are already built, but we still need to paint the interiors and exteriors – and that’s where we need your help. This is more than just helping paint walls – you’ll be directly contributing to creating a safe and structured home for street dogs who have been through a lot. Your help makes a real, visible difference.

This project has everything to be a rich experience, Diana has a lot of knowledge about dogs and takes very good care of them and she has the potential to make volunteering a rich experience but it ends up not being because she is very exigent person and things need to be the way she wants. I believe that volunteer work should not be seen as "cheap labour" and unfortunately that's how I felt, I think this proposal is just to keep the company running.

Diana replied

Kethlin is an easy-going person who followed clear instructions well, especially on simple tasks like gardening. Tasks needing initiative were often left incomplete, possibly due to language barriers, limited experience, or her focus on social media. Although she expressed interest in dogs, she rarely engaged with them beyond assigned tasks. Our staff care for the rescues, while volunteers help with guest dogs. We thank her for her time and wish her all the best on her journey.
