Who remembers the first time they saw a giraffe up close? Or that mix of awe and curiosity when watching a zebra cross their path? For many of our children at Baan Unrak, this day was more than just a visit to Safari Park—it was an encounter with the magic of nature, a moment that will stay etched in their hearts forever.

During this holiday season, while Thailand celebrates the traditional water festival, we strive to ensure our children have their own celebrations—moments of joy, discovery, and connection. Some are lucky enough to reunite with family, but for others, Baan Unrak is the only family they know. And it’s for them that we work hard to create happy memories, because we know these experiences shape not only their childhood but also the future they will build.

Belonging to the Earth, Caring for the World

Imagine if every child in the world had the chance to know nature, to feel they are a part of it. Wouldn’t we take better care of our planet in the future? When a child looks into an animal’s eyes, something magical happens—they develop empathy, understanding, and a sense of responsibility. They learn they are not alone in this world—that they share this Earth with incredible creatures and that their role is to protect them.

That’s what we gave them on this trip—not just fun, but the seed of a more conscious future. And all of this was possible thanks to the generous support of people who believe in our work. To our sponsors, our deepest thank you—you are helping create so much more than memories, you are helping shape more compassionate and connected human beings.
