What are your values? Dear Animal Lover, There are only 2 days left to reach our $20,000 goal. Help us help the school children sterilize their animals! As we approach the end of the year, we would like to express our gratitude for your continued support of Amigos de Animales. Your generosity has enabled us to make a significant impact in the lives of animals in our community. We are excited to share with you that we are raising funds to conduct sterilization clinics in five schools in the Boquete area. Our Education Outreach team has been visiting rural elementary schools to work with students and teachers on how to love and care for their pets and the benefits of sterilization. During one of these visits, we were inspired by teacher Eric's project in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classroom at El Frances Arriba school. This is a small rural school of 66 students. | | | Teacher Eric took one of the books we had donated entitled Valores (or Values in English) and taught a complete project around the book. The students made placards to display around the entrance of the school, and Teacher Eric was excited to show us how he had been inspired by our books. We are thrilled to see the impact our donations have had on the students and teachers in the community. | | | | With your help, we can continue to inspire these values and make a difference in the lives of animals and people in our community. Our goal is to sterilize at least 100 animals for free at each of these schools in 2024. This will prevent hundreds of unwanted births and reduce greatly the potential suffering of both animals and their owners. The cost to sterilize each animal is $40.00, and our goal is to raise $20,000.00 to cover the costs of equipment, supplies, transportation, and veterinary staff for these clinics. | | | We've raised $12,230 toward our goal. That gets us into 3 schools (100 animals at $40 each). Please help us get into 5 schools. Only $8,000 more and we can do it! Together, we can make a difference in so many ways!
