Recently Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin’s Treasurer Peter Wydler went to officially hand over a much needed Generator to a huge Dog Shelter near the Pranburi Dam. Most people in Pranburi City know Buddhist Nun Nid due to her many years of helping sick dogs and cats in the area. The Nun has been through many hardships to continue to help dogs & cats, which included being told to leave her temple with the animals.

Currently she lives close to Pranburi Dam on rented farm land where she has slowly built up a very simple house and big pens for her animals, roughly 130 dogs and 70 cats that need constant care.  The land has no running water or electricity; it is far away from other people as Nun felt it would be safer to keep her animals away from prying eyes and complaints.
 
The donation of the generator is a huge benefit for the Nun as it will allow her to draw water from the River and light up the camp at night. Nun would like to thank every member of Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin for helping her by making her work much easier.
 
The Nun works with many foreign and Thai animal rescuers and one of those is Brigitte Persson who runs www.hinlekfairescue.com. They collaborate on helping dogs and Brigitte tries to help Nun in finding funding. If you would like to get more info or help Nun please contact: brigittehomeless@gmail.com.
