Visits to animal shelters in Mîrșa and Sibiu
On September 21 and 24th, 2015, the students involved in the
project
together with the coordinating teachers visited the animal
shelter from Mirsa
and a bigger shelter from Sibiu, the last one being under the
auspices of a
nonprofit organization - the "Animal Life" Association for the
Protection of
Animals and Nature. Children were informed by the association
volunteers on
their work done for the benefit of the abandoned animals and on
the adoption
procedures, while being taught how to behave with dogs and how
to take care
of them.
Our students were enthusiastic, wanting to carry forward the
message to
help homeless, friendless and stray animals. They played happily
with the dogs
in the shelters and they fed them with special food for animals.
The visit was
beneficial, setting in the minds of the children the feeling of
empathy for
homeless and abandoned animals, deprived of the love of a
master-friend, and
amplifying their desire to be an "everyday hero" regarding the
animals, helping
each one, by his or her own strength, to the so necessary good
of the beautiful
four-legged friends!
