We all agree that educating the young is the key issue when trying to change behaviour towards the animals here in TRNC.
Well one young lady, who recently called into our office, is a credit to the youth of today here in the TRNC.
Chloe Marhoom (and her Mum) from Ozankoy called into the KAR office with a little gift. It was recently Chloe’s birthday – she was 9. She explained that she is “Addicted to Animals” and had been researching online about animals, in particular dogs and puppies, here (and elsewhere) and had come across our website. She said “she was amazed” at all of the things that KAR do to help the animals here and that she couldn’t wait to be in Year 7 at school as she had heard that her school have visits from our Education team and that Year 7 children go on organsed trips to the KAR Rescue center.
Then she explained that for her Birthday she had invited her friends to her party but that the invitations had been altered to say that she did not want birthday gifts – instead she wanted her friends to give her a cash donation to help KAR.
Chloe chatted with us for quite a while talking about cats and dogs and looking at some of our very many puppy photos
She then donated her birthday donations – an AMAZING 1100TL !!!!!
She seemed as proud and as happy to donate the money as were were to receive it.
Chloe and her friends have been so generous and we know that Chloe will pass on our massive THANK YOU to them – as she said ” the money will help you to keep helping animals ” It most certainly will Chloe – but it is the thoughtfulness of youngsters such as your self that will help us and the animals long into the future.
