Announcing our Greenheart Travel Give Back Award Recipients!

For the past week, Greenheart Travel alumni and friends have been casting their votes to help us decide who would receive our Greenheart Travel Give Back Award. Having to choose between three amazing volunteer projects was no easy task.

The voting closed last night at 11:59pm CDT, and we are excited to announce that the winner of the Greenheart Travel Give Back Award is the Stray Dog Rescue Project in Thailand!

With this donation, this important volunteer project in Hua Hin will be able to boost their efforts in rescuing stray dogs and puppies in the area, and the donation will go toward:

• Purchasing more kennels
• Creating a recreational play area
• Adding a new adoption zone

These additions will double the size of the current clinic, allowing the staff to treat and release nearly four times the amount of dogs.

Giving Back Even More

While the majority of the votes were for the Stray Dog Rescue project, there was no shortage of enthusiasm and support for our other two volunteer project nominees. Because we feel strongly about each projects’ efforts in making a positive impact on their local communities, we made a decision to share the donation.

Based on the percentages of votes we received from our Greenheart Travel alumni and community, we are donating:

• $3,500 to the Stray Dog Rescue Project in Thailand
• $1,000 to the Animal Rescue Center in Costa Rica
• $500 to the Elephant Conservation Project in Sri Lanka

Thank you to everyone that voted, and stay tuned for updates from the projects about how each donation is making a difference in communities across the globe!
