Animals Welfare Workshops and
Presentations
STRAW
regularly conducts animal welfare workshops and awareness talks under its
humane education programs at schools and colleges. The aim of our programs is
to sow seeds of empathy (同情) towards
people, compassion towards animals and a respect for the environment. Simply
put, our programs demonstrate the way children could be empathetic and
compassionate towards people and animals that may be in pain and in need of
help. Our programs encourage them to take that first step forward to lend a
helping hand. These programs emphasize:
♦
How children need to be sensitive to the pain that animals on the street feel
when they have been hit or run over by a speeding car. They are made aware of
how they could step forward with compassion to treat and save such animals.
♦
How children need to appreciate the importance of the principles of green
living by caring for the environment. Children have been urged to inculcate (谆谆教诲) the following routines that
would hopefully stick with them for the rest of their lives:
Keep
their neighborhood parks, lakes and rivers clean.
Avoid
using plastic bags.
Appreciate
the principle of recycle, reuse and reduce waste.
Not
to dump garbage in parking lots or in parks but only at specified places.
Not
to throw banana, orange peels and wrappers from a moving car.
To
turn off lights in empty rooms to save on energy.
Not
to squash insects like ants, grasshoppers etc. as these living creatures loo
are part of our world and we human beings are their caretakers.
