International Day of the Girl
October 11, 2024
To all the girls we have met and will meet: keep believing in yourselves, pursuing your dreams, and lighting up the world with your strength and courage. May every step you take be guided by hope, and may you always find happiness in both the small and great victories of life. You have the power to make a difference, so never let anyone dim the light that shines within you.
A girl is capable of achieving anything: she can dream, create, lead, heal, invent, and inspire. She has the strength to rise after every fall, the courage to challenge stereotypes, and the determination to turn her dreams into reality. There are no limits to what she can do, for within her lies an immense potential to change the world and leave an indelible mark of resilience, passion, and talent. 💪✨

Emergency situation in India - Saving dogs from the heatwave
June 8, 2024
India is currently facing an unprecedented heatwave, with temperatures ranging from 45-50 degrees Celsius and higher. These extreme temperatures are unfortunately accompanied by prolonged power outages across the country due to excessive energy demand.
The animal shelter "Voice of Stray Animals Hapur" (VOSAH), which we visited last March, exclusively cares for partially or totally paralyzed dogs. The shelter has large air conditioners to cool the air and ensure the survival of the dogs during intense heat. Unfortunately, the power outages prevent the air conditioners from functioning, and dogs at the shelter are dying every day.
The shelter's founder, Harendra Singh, is making a desperate appeal to raise funds to install solar panels. We have decided to respond to this emergency by creating a fundraising campaign to help contribute to the installation of a solar energy production system.
Below, you will find the link to the fundraiser. Your participation is urgent, and every contribution is important. Thank you in advance.

An extra little smile
14/06/2023
During one of our presentations at schools, a child asked us, "do they (the Kenyan children) have toys?"

This heartwarming gesture not only adds a touch of comfort but also connects the children from different parts of the world in a shared moment of kindness. It is a beautiful reminder of the universal language of compassion that transcends borders.
