Our first general tips publication from the field! From our Strays and my RC initiative, we participate in fieldwork and document our findings by using an affordable RC car to feed and give clean water to stray animals in our immediate environment.

This initiative is created to improve LEAF's archetypal robot that will be formally introduced next year.

Our monthly simple ethnographic reflections have begun!

Introducing our initiative, Strays and my RC, is meant to foster empathy in action, fieldwork interest, and community insights for the stray animals around us through a remote-controlled car. It is also intended to be the guiding arc for LEaf's archetypal robot next year.

Its only grounding message is this: that we, in our little skillful ways, can support other vulnerable beings in our reach.

Not everyone can directly approach a stray dog or cat safely, and that is okay! An RC and simple notetaking could help!

An initiative that started from one robot and a piercing moment in Dumaguete.

Look and read through the personal multi-species ethnographic reflections and insights soon! We'll also be sharing possible fundraising momentums along the way.
