Charity Evening For Street Dogs & Cats In Thailand

[.christine.]

Hi DOLers

I just wanted to let you all know about a fantastic fundraising event that is being held in Melbourne on Friday 5th February to raise money for the Soi Dog Foundation in Phuket Thailand.

Soi Dog Foundation is a not-for-profit, legally registered charitable organization, based in Phuket, Thailand and their aim is to minimize suffering of the street and stray dogs as well as feral cats through sterilization and vaccination, treat the sick and/or injured who are otherwise left suffering, feed those who otherwise go hungry, create a better and safer environment for the people and the animals & educate the people about the Schools Program of cats and dogs to themselves and the society at large and teach humane treatment of these animals.

The event is actually the Australian premiere of the documentary 'Soi Dogs' by Evironment Films which follows key members of the Soi Dog Foundation, John & Gill. The documentary is a testament to their dedication in helping the estimated 20,000 dogs living wild on the island of Phuket. The documentary is FAMILY FRIENDLY, it is not one of those graphic documentaries. If you have ever visited the island of Phuket you will understand how important the work of the Soi Dog Foundation is.

The event is hosted by Providing Aid For Animals Worldwide (PAAW) - a local Melbourne not-for-profit charity, and all proceeds will go directly to the Soi Dog Foundation.

Please see the attached flyer for all relevant details about the evening.
