![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hi everyone, Many years ago, I received a gift from a friend that really touched my heart. She purchased a toy and clothing for a child in need and donated it through a charity agency in my honor. I mean, I really have been blessed with a lot in my life and I didn’t expect or really need a gift from her. The fact that she honored me by thinking about me and giving to someone in need instead set an example for me. As a result of her influence on my life, I try to patronize charities in honor of others in my life. This really is leading somewhere, just keep reading. Today I took my dog Lucky to Spay Panama http://www.spaypanama.org/ to get sterilized. They offer low cost pet sterilizations as well as free to those who can not otherwise afford the surgery. While I was there, volunteers and veternarians were working diligently spaying people’s pets at cost and also spaying stray dogs and cats for no cost. Its heart breaking to think of how many starving strays are overpopulating Panama as a result of the lack of clinics like Spay Panama. In the two hours time I was there, I witnessed a man pull up in a truck with fifteen (15) stray dogs and eight (8)people walk in with boxes of stray cats they had trapped on the streets. These people who brought them to the clinic were just good hearted people who hate seeing animals suffer from having multiple litters and starve in the streets. Only some of these people who brought these strays in could afford to pay for the sterilizations but Pat Chan (the owner) doesn’t turn anyone away. In honor of the birthdays of a couple of students I am currently sponsoring in Panama, I donated the cost of sterilizing one cat and one dog for each of them. May I suggest we all consider giving a donation to our favorite charities in lieu of a gift the next time we purchase a gift for someone's birthday? SpayPanama is certainly a worthy cause, however, I also realize there are many other agencies as well that help people who live in severe poverty in this country. Just something to chew on the next time one considers buying a gift. Peace and pet control to all, Nicole |
