I've just completed my two-week stay at the foundation, and it's been my first venture into the world of Workaway. The experience has been incredibly moving. Saying goodbye on the last day, I was on the verge of tears. Even as I sat at the airport waiting for my flight back, it felt like I was in a dream, unable to fully grasp reality and say… read more farewell to the characters in this unique play.
Each day was a bustling affair. Mornings commenced with a delectable breakfast, followed by the less glamorous but essential tasks of scooping poop, cleaning and replenishing water bowls, and attending to the feeding and cleaning of food bowls. The relentless Thai heat added an extra layer of challenge to the already demanding task of sunlit poop-shoveling. My assigned area was Zone B, and I affectionately dubbed the right side the "sunshine side" and the left side the "shadow side." Occasionally, skirmishes over food broke out among the dogs, necessitating intervention for separation. Afternoons brought a variety of tasks, from dog washing to socializing. It's a pity the groomer didn't show up during my stay; I really wanted to learn some shearing skills.
Weekly visits to the supermarket for essentials and a nearby grocery store, just a five-minute motorcycle ride away, added a touch of routine to the otherwise dynamic days. A Sunday market provided a delightful opportunity to procure food, beverages, and even clothing and shoes. My birthday celebration on a rainy Sunday, returning from the market soaked on a scooter, added a humorous and thrilling chapter to my unforgettable experience.
The bonds formed with everyone were the heart of my journey. Gabi's warm welcome, Claudia's humor and empathy for dogs. And Jessi and Diem were absolute gems, patient with our not-so-great English and always ready to lend a hand. Conversations with Michael about culture and language learning enriched my experience, making me feel both happy and connected. Nidd's desserts were a delightful indulgence.
Vampi, Rusty, and Patty, though only in my company for a brief four or five days, treated me as their own, and their companionship is sorely missed. Capturing moments through photographs became a cherished ritual, as each glance into their eyes revealed a yearning for home.
Riding the big truck in the strong breeze, soaking in the beautiful lakeside scenery, and watching the saunter of cattle on the road marked the peak of my experience during those two weeks. I hope to come back again one day.
