On June 28, 2014, Wildlife SOS’s Bangalore Bear Rescue Facility had members of Morgan Stanley team working as volunteers as a part of their volunteering initiative ‘Global Volunteering Month’. It was a team of 20 volunteers who took part in enrichment making, sapling plantation and feeding work in the enclosures.
The team arrived at the center in morning hours and was led by Dr.Arun, Director-Research & Veterinary Operations – Wildlife SOS. He started the session with an introduction about Wildlife SOS, related activities and organization goals. Later Pratyush Rao, Education Officer- Wildlife SOS took the team for a tour around the center including the office, laboratory, enrichment room, operation theater and the
bear kitchen.
Followed by this the team was divided into 3 groups. Each group was allotted physical activities like anrichment making, bear feeding & cleaning the enclosures Later 30 saplings of different plant species were provided to the team and they actively participated in sapling plantation. The Morgan Stanley team took some special memories with them in the form of Wildlife SOS souvenirs and was kind enough to donate honey bottles and bandages for the animals. It was a wonderful experience for Wildlife SOS as well as for the Morgan Stanley team.
