Story

Teaching children how to interact with animals safely in a country where Rabies is present saves human life’s and makes the community safer for everyone ( 2 and 4 legged ) 

In 

March 2012 Dogstar delivered our first education sessions for 100 children using our new "Be safe , be kind , be a dogstar" bi lingual ( soon to be tri lingual ) workbook and colouring sheets. 
During the interactive sessions the children role play , answer questions , colour and talk with the presenter about their own animals and experiences. We discuss animals basic needs , promote positive handling and interaction , bite prevention and what to do if you are bitten. At the end of the session each child signs a pledge to "be a dogstar" look after animals , be kind , be safe and if they are bitten to tell an adult and seek medical help. 

 These sessions have been so successful that the local Medical Officer of Health who attended a session at a Temple in April 2012 has requested that we provide 2000 copies to be delivered to 46 local schools in the Ranbukkana area of Sri Lanka. 

Each 11 page workbook costs us 25p to print so we need to raise £500 to deliver the 2000 copies 

Please join with us to make Sri Lanka a happy and healthier place for children and dogs alike and help us make 2000 more little dogstars of the future
