Object of Study: Care for Dogs
Presentation of the Care for Dogs Foundation at the Ratchamankala University on 27 August 2009
by Maggi Albiez:
I was asked by a friend of mine, Khun Sitang Jenwinitthai, Assistant professor and dean of the Communication Design Department, to give a presentation for her students. I was to choose between three topics: presenting my country, Switzerland, presenting the animal care non profit project, which I accomplished from 2002 to 2005 on Koh Payam or to present the Care for Dogs Foundation in Chiang Mai. I chose Care for Dogs, because I live in Chiang Mai for eight months now and am an active volunteer in this organization.
AApprox. 30 students were present and very interested in this topic. A lively discussion arose when I showed the PowerPoint presentation and the web page of Care for the Dogs.
On Wednesday, 2 September, the whole group will visit the shelter in Hang Dong.
Parallel to it the students will sketch road signs and stickers for Care for Dogs in a group work.
7 students are interested in being a part of our team at the Sunday Market and after their visit in the shelter they will know what it is all about.
I am so much pleased that I had this fantastic opportunity to pass on so much information for the improvement of the situation of the dogs of Chiang Mai and the surrounding areas.

Michael " Being part of the team I think, was so much more effective. If alone, I would only have given a street dog some food for few days, not knowing what else to do in a strange town when seeing a sick dog. Joining with the other volunteers at CfD, I was part of a steady approach. You give dogs some hope for a better life and don't have to disappoint them when they might wait on you, when your plane already took off. Here is a team and it's just another friendly face, the next (holiday) volunteer will take up your work. [More about Michael]"
