The children of this family, Alexis, Danaca, Jayda, Cayleand their mother Heather, all decided that instead of buying gifts this last Christmas that they would all make gifts for their family members. The gifts included a hand made photo album, crossword puzzles and lavender bags. With the money they saved by making their gifts they each made a donation to NEF. They chose which projects that their individual money went to. These included library books, help with a school roof and school supplies. The eldest daughter, Alexis, decided she wanted to give her money to help animals. So I told her about the Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre which helps street dogs in Kathmandu. They also have a spay and neuter program to help cut down on unwanted puppies and this has saved thousands of dogs from being poisoned in Kathmandu as this is how the city controlled the dog population. They also treat dogs covered in mange and traffic accidents.
So a big thank you to these generous young ladies and hats off to them for recognizing that there are children in the world so much less fortunate then themselves and to Alexis who showed compassion for the animals who live on the street in Kathmandu in a state of constant negelect.
