The children we are involved with do not have much, but what they do have is time. I wanted to get them into a situation where they could do something for others, instead of just receiving.

The idea was that they clean the kennels and wash the dogs at the local SPCA, but due to their ages, the SPCA did not want to take the risk. They did however propose that they would like to do an educational program with the kids.

After discussions with Koningskinders, I was amazed that most of these children have 2 or more pets at their homes. I asked them during the program how many, and which type of animals they had as pets. Most had dogs, but some had cats and even snakes as well! Some of these children had 4 or more pets. This in families which struggle financially...

We spend Saturday morning at the SPCA, where they showed them the animals and the kennels where the dogs and cats are

Complete Pet Foods donated 18 x 8kg bags of food, one bag for each child which they gave to the SPCA Saturday. The children was reluctant to get in the kombi’s after our visit, as they thoroughly enjoyed the outing and it was clearly to short for their liking. We hope that they understand the responsibility of having a pet and that they experience what it is to give to someone or something.

In God we trust.
