On June 15 and 16, PET Tampa welcomed two volunteer teams from Franklin Templeton Investments based in St. Petersburg.  This was structured as a team building exercise where PET Tampa is utilized as a partner to provide a structured activity that brings team members together outside of the work environment.  Here's a look into this experience in their own words:

Thank you for giving us an opportunity to join the PET team.  We all enjoyed our experience with the team building workshop.

Here are the group photos from our PET team building in June.

Here is what a few of the volunteers from our group had to say:

As Americans, most of us enjoy a very good life.  We have the opportunity to travel when and where we like and even enjoying a modest life style, we are still the envy of most of the people of the world.   Volunteering at PET brings you down to earth and makes you realize how much better we have it than people in other countries.  By building a PET you are not saving the world, but on a very person level you are making the life of one person so much better.  It is a very worthwhile experience.  - Wayne Patrick

PET is a wonderful example of how we can participate in giving back after we have received so much.  It was a great pleasure to work with people who shared their time, resources and skills so generously.  I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be apart of it.  - Tatiana Caterson

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank each individual volunteer, and the Franklin Templeton Investments organization for their dedication and commitment to the PET Project, and the PET Tampa ministry.
