PETA Update

Hello everyone. I’m writing an update of my recent work.

Been really busy with Patrick closing several deals with major hotel lines in Bangkok. In May we will be running on a really really tight schedule as all the parties will take place then, we also have our PETA Ad-Campaign to shoot which will take enormous amount of planning, but we’re putting all our heart into it.

We have a lot of ideas and concepts that we want to put into motion, promoting both our brand and foundation. Work is as usual 24/7, drinking gallons of coffee(mine is no sugar of course :D), paperwork, telephones, dozens and dozens of e-mails. I love it.

Me and Patrick set our own paper wall where we write all of our planning ideas, reminders, to do’s, link everything in between, just as the Google brothers did long long time ago. As he always likes to quote “Rome wasn’t built in one day” and my personal best “Every major company has a story to tell...so will you and I Alex”. How could you not work 24/7 with a guy like that?

Getting back to PETA, we received an e-mail this morning which warmed our hearts. It came from SCAD, Soi Cats and Dogs, an organization that’s fighting to get stray cats and dogs of the streets of Asia, mainly acting in Bangkok as we do. The e-mail is of great significance to us as this means our organization is starting to get known. We have requested a meeting for next week, to talk about future projects together, hopefully we get a tour of the shelter they have put together for the rescued animals. As i always like to say “What you think about, you bring about.” Wanted to be an international model, here i am, wanted to do business, here i am, wanted to help animals in any kind, here i am doing that. Remember your like is what your thought make of it. Think negative, misery, doubt, that’s what you will get, think positive, vision yourself doing something and loving what you do and it will eventually come to you. Here is the e-mail:

Dear Patrick and Alex

The work you are about to attempt with PETA on behalf of the deserving elephants of Thailand warms my heart.

As a member of an animal welfare group in Bangkok, I share your hopes for a better deal for all animals in Thailand. Along with the elephants, 300,000 dogs and many thousands more cats live a pitiful existence on the busy streets of Bangkok and I hope that as a spin off, a greater awareness will be brought to their plight during your campaign. Anyone visiting Thailand cannot fail to notice their sad life.

We're known as SCAD, meaning "Soi Cats and Dogs" www.scadbangkok.org
In our experience, it is not always our successes that spur us on to do more to help the animals. More often it is our failure to save an injured animal that lives on in our memories and leaves us wondering whether we could have done more.

On behalf of the cats and dogs in Thailand who we have helped, and who still need our help, I am wondering whether the Ribbsaeter Foundation can assist our cause. We'd be pleased to show you around, introduce you to our projects and the animals we care so passionately about.

Apologies for my unsolicited approach but I never miss an opportunity to speak up for the animals! Good luck with everything you're doing for the elephants here in Thailand.

With best wishes and hoping to hear from you.
Sherry & the team in Bangkok

Thank you for supporting us Sherry and looking forward to our collaboration together, saving the animals.


I have also posted a video update of me and Patrick at work. Please don’t take in consideration my hilarious laughing :))))) as i had been awake for almost 30 hours and work got me tripping a little bit.

This is all for today, i will keep you updated as soon as i can, and post photos from our parties in May. Everything is starting to emerge for us, so we are really content and happy, we’re searching for a palacial villa where we can hire more people and do more work, have pool parties, play some tennis etc. I’m hoping of bringing my parents here as soon as possible.

Ok my friends, i’ll leave you now as i have more work to do.

Cheers.
