This two-week volunteering program offers a unique and hands-on experience in the rural town of Sangklaburi, located in the western part of Thailand near the border with Myanmar. The program focuses on assisting at a dog rescue sanctuary situated just 25 minutes outside of town. The sanctuary is managed by Tonrak School and Baan Unrak Children's Home, charitable organizations providing shelter, education, and support to refugee children affected by the ongoing conflict in Myanmar.

During the program, volunteers will have the opportunity to engage in various activities aimed at supporting the well-being of the animals at the sanctuary, which currently houses 62 dogs, 17 cats, 5 turtles, and 3 rabbits. The daily tasks may include dog walking, ensuring the animals' welfare, and implementing enrichment activities that promote physical exercise and mental stimulation.

For those with additional skills in IT or media, there may be opportunities to contribute to social media management and website improvement efforts. Furthermore, volunteers may have the chance to collaborate with local school children, teaching them about animal welfare or organizing enrichment activities.
