Just before Xmas we ran a training course for the team members of the World Society for the Protection of Animals Disaster Response Team.

In addtion to the Emergency First Response program in Bangkok, we ran a residential program at the lodge designed to give  the team a grounding in basic outdoor skills

  We covered rope use and acess on steep ground, and self resuce and basic safety in a swiftwater enviroment.

We used the High Ropes course on site and thenThan Rattana Waterfall and Nakon Nayok whitewater course for situation scenarios.

 

The team is based in Bangkok and was set up in early 2008 to cover disasters in Asia. They were most recently on the ground helping in Burma in the aftermath of Nargis.

We were gald to provide them with some skills that will hopefully be useful to them in the field and look forward to working with them in the future.

A great team and a great bunch of people.
