To celebrate PURI’s very first anniversary, the team decided to skip the traditional office party and do something far more meaningful. Packing our bags and our gratitude, we traveled to the serene temples of Chiang Mai, Thailand, to reflect on a year of incredible growth and to give back to the community that inspires us.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of intricate murals and golden statues, our team gathered on the cool tile floors of the temple to receive blessings from the local monks. It was a peaceful, grounding moment to express our thanks for the support we’ve received over the past year, and to ask for a smooth, lucky, and joyful journey ahead for PURI.

But we didn’t just come for blessings—we came to share our happiness. Knowing that the temple provides a safe haven for over 300 stray cats and dogs, we brought along stacks of 10kg dog food bags, fresh drinking water, and essential supplies. During the traditional merit-making ceremony, our team and the monks placed our hands on the donations, a beautiful shared gesture of giving. Some of the temple’s furry residents even wandered over to join our group photos, perfectly complementing our anniversary banner that read: “Happy 1st Birthday, PURI! Here’s to Growing Together.”

For us, turning one is more than just a business milestone. It’s a reminder that as we grow, our capacity to care should grow with us. We want the success of PURI to be a force for warmth and kindness. This trip was the perfect way to kick off our second year—growing together, and sharing the love, one paw at a time.

這一年來，PURI 迎來了值得驕傲的一歲生日！為了紀念這個特別的時刻，起達通團隊決定打破常規的切蛋糕慶祝，收拾行囊，帶著滿滿的感謝與心意，前往泰國清邁展開了一場充滿溫度的祈福與公益之旅。

走進莊嚴寧靜的清邁寺廟，陽光灑在金色的佛像與精緻的壁畫上。大家虔誠地跪坐在微涼的地磚上，接受僧侶們的誦經祈福。我們在心裡默默感謝過去一年來所有支持我們的朋友，也為 PURI 未來的新旅程祈求平安順利、好運相伴。

除了為自己祈福，我們更希望能把這份滿週年的喜悅，實實在在地分享給需要幫助的小生命。團隊特地準備了成堆的 10 公斤裝大包狗飼料與飲用水帶到寺廟，因為我們知道，這裡的僧侶們平時還用心照料著超過 300 隻的流浪貓狗。

看著起達通的夥伴們與僧侶一起將手搭在捐獻的物資上，完成泰國傳統的祈福與祈福迴向儀式，甚至還有幾隻親人的狗狗自在地穿梭在我們身邊、慵懶地趴在地上跟著大家一起拍下大合照，那種純粹的快樂真的難以言喻。照片裡大家一起拉開的那條「Happy 1st Birthday, PURI!」布條，不只印著可愛的毛孩，更承載了我們最核心的初衷——一起成長，也一起分享愛。

對我們而言，PURI 的一週年從來都不只是一個單純的里程碑。我們始終相信，品牌成長的軌跡，也應該是一股能夠溫暖社會的力量。未來，我們也會帶著這份初心繼續前行，把更多的愛與美好，延續到每一個需要的角落。
