We are pleased that the education programme is going well again, reaching
out to many children in Spain. You can see from the photos on the next page
that the children are enjoying their visits. They get a chance to meet the
galgos and learn about animal welfare. They enjoy doing the crosswords,
puzzles and reading to the galgos. Below you can see some of the entries for
our March competition. It is never easy to choose the winners but the
children like to take part and look forward to their prizes arriving from the
UK.
We are grateful to Tina and Sam at Galgos del Sol in Murcia, Anna, Sara and
the team at SOS Galgos in Barcelona, Antonio, Julia and galga Abi at Arca de
Noe, Albacete and Patricia in Alicante for promoting the project and using
GIN’s educational resources. The feedback from teachers and parents is
very positive and we are pleased to support and help as much as we can. Our
hopes are that this project will support the teaching of English in Spanish
schools, educate the children about the plight of the galgos and change the
perception people have of these dogs. The aim is to develop empathy for dogs
and help make a difference to the many that are in need of loving homes.
