A lot of things in APAA’s brew. Stirred well … and voilà! Tempting the nodes of fate, Jenny Clarke, president of the Association for Protection of Animals Algarve (APAA), stepped up to the plate with academia in mind.
Silves Secondary School (SSS) keen students are willing to give a helping hand. Well done! Ten out of ten! The main project will evolve in time. But, for the moment, widening children’s horizons regarding animal welfare is of paramount importance.
APAA VP Jane’s son, Joe, goes to SSS. Connections are important here. “We definitely need a pathway to the students and their awareness on how animals, specifically cats and dogs, are treated within our environment.”
Jenny has arranged with the school to deliver leaflets and information regarding APAA and its work. “Hopefully, this will form into a project which can have more far-reaching results within the schools and the Algarve. Who knows, even farther afield.”
Meanwhile, back at Anita’s ranch … Pasi and Paul have been on the tutoring side with their protégés. Wreath-making! Some beautiful specimens were made, and their results were applauded by all. A veritable, versatile couple, P&P have settled into the Algarve with their marvellous talents, providing holistic care, healing and craftwork. They are always dependable for backup and helping APAA in the background. Thanks guys! They can be contacted by email paul@naturaljokiflow.com or mobile 910 665 601.
