(IN) Children visits PAWS..

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

What a wonderful day Sunday was!

 

16 children from Akansha Foundation & their teachers Rebecca Newman & Shefali

visited PAWS office on Sunday, 17th August 2008 in the afternoon. These children

lives in slums, having Animal Welfare as project undertaken by them, were

delighted with PAWS welcome. Program drafted by Nilesh with brief introduction

on PAWS working, question and answer round next, followed by speech on

'instances of joining PAWS by its volunteers' by Sangam, Crystal, Prathmesh &

Saurabh. The next was Beauty without Cruelty Video, break for snacks, play of

PAWS video Green Guard, explaining PAWS office work & how students, volunteers

can help. Final play of CD 'Compassionate Citizen' & interaction with my pet

Max.

 

Attraction of the day was Saurabh chougle, who literally hugging & playing with

children. Mansi and Crystal distributed Sweets, Snacks & Beverages to the

students. We look forward for more such interactions with children in future.

Hi Nilesh,

 

Just writing to say thank you again for a wonderful visit today. The kids loved

it and you were so welcoming. It would be wonderful if you, and/or any of your

volunteers would join us for the presentation day on Sept 12th, where you can

see the kids' work and where we can thank you in public. I will keep you posted

on the timings.

 

Tomorrow I'll write that letter and post it to the address you gave me.

Apologies for forgetting to bring it today. If you ever need to contact us my

number is 9867706524 and Shefali's is 9869402592.

 

All the best and thanks again,

Rebecca

 

p.s. also thank your family for having us and your wonderful volunteers!
