#Selfisolation

It’s not an uncommon hashtag right now, that’s for sure! It’s vital in the process of slowing down and ultimately stopping this terrible virus. So at trunk we’ve taken steps to do what we can.

In light of the increase of cases reported in Thailand, with the majority of these new cases being in Bangkok, in our office on Friday we discussed what we can do to play our part. Happily, and overwhelmingly, our team decided to work from home for at least the next 14 days.

This has its own problems. For us to be able to operate to the best of our abilities, it’s imperative that we are a unified team. We need to seek out and discuss issues and find ways to resolve them as a unit, mainly so that we are all on the same page. and when working in a bi-lingual environment, communication is so important to ensure that everybody understands what is happening and the plan to move forward. With our team now being spread across this sprawling metropolis communicating will be difficult, but not impossible. I am now working on an action plan to ensure that everyone properly comprehends and understands what we’re doing, how and why.

We have lots of new plans in place in order to raise awareness and funds for our supported camps. Our biggest venture will be rolled out in the next few days and it’s a doozy! We can’t wait to be able to bring this to you once we’re completely happy with it and we know it’s functioning properly. Keep an eye out for this.

So for the next couple of weeks at least, operations will be affected but it’s still early days and any speedbumps will be flattened as we learn more about how to work effectively.

Don’t stop getting in touch. We are still here. We are still working very hard to achieve our goals and to support our elephants. We need your help more now than ever so if there’s anything that you think you can do to help, please do get in touch.
