 GomeraVerde - La Gomera / El pasado 4 de febrero se firmo en Valle Gran Rey un nuevo convenio por valor de 3000€ entre la asociación protectora de animales de la Isla y Caja Canarias. La entidad bancaria, a través de su Obra Social y Cultural apoya así la segunda parte del proyecto educativo "ser mascota en la Gomera".

Si la primera parte del proyecto se ha destinado a alumnos de primero,  segundo y tercero de primaria y se centraba mas en fomentar la tenencia responsable de perros y gatos y evitar abandonos, esta segunda parte del proyecto ira destinada a alumnos mas mayores y se abordaran temas de gran interés como la esterilización de mascotas, los derechos y las leyes de protección de los animales.

Esta previsto empezar las visitas a los centros el próximo otoño y esperamos que tengan la misma acogida que han tenido las anteriores con los mas pequeños.

Nuestro mayor agradecimiento a Caja Canarias por su colaboración.

Translation of the text "Cajacanarias vuelve a apoyar a la asociación PRO Animal Gomera!", published in Gomeraverde.com on 11 March 2009.   The Bank Cajacanaria will again support the only Animal Protection Association on La Gomera:  Pro Animal Gomera (PAG). Because of the Bank’s support in 2008 with their “Cultural and Social Work” Projects, the animal protection organization was finally able to start their education program on La Gomera.   Because of their support, a large number of ground school students were visited in their classrooms by a representative of Pro Animal Gomera and given an hour class with the theme of “Pets are on La Gomera”.   These students were the youngest on the Island and were taught such things as proper care, feeding and handling of dogs and cats.   With the donation of 3,000 Euros from the Bank Cajacanarias, the Animal protection Organization will work this Fall in the remaining schools and share information with the students about sterilization of domestic animals as well as the laws concerning the protection of animals.   The Animal Protection Organization hopes to have a good working relationship with the schools, as they had in the previous year and again, wish to thank the Bank Cajacanarias for their support.
