Activity Report
March1st – 31st
Administrative activities
This month
is when the organized committee constituting members from the society’s
Board, Management, Members and other concerned supporters started to secure
the rights of our society HAPS from those trace passing its legality with
their irresponsible move.
Accordingly
the six members of the committee spoke to the governmental authority having a
direct working relation with our society with the City Government of Addis
Ababa Trade and Industrial Bureau, Head Mr. Fitsum Arega regarding the
continual activity of the society and problems facing it right now.
While
discussing with him in his office he recalled about what he watched by TV
about the rescue of the dogs from Gido cave and appreciated the contribution
of our society for the community.
To remind you this unforgettable event please visit the historical rescue by
HAPS Ethiopia
http://www.haps-eth.org.et/report_on.htm
Concerning
the discussions and the agreement reached will be announced together with the
outcomes of discussions going to be held with other concerned government
officials.
At the same time the committee started to contact different people and
organizations that are thought to be able to support to ask for support for
the day to day activities of the society.
Education activities
HAPS
continued to educate people using all opportunities to bring a better
attitudinal change towards animals particularly dogs.
HAPS
educational and spay neuter car really made the awareness creation work easy
as people easily recognize us whenever we move from place to place either for
education or to rescue dogs.
Information
is provided to as many people as possible to update those who already had and
also for the new ones.
Emergency care and Adoption
Dogs that
the owners already decided to avoid using any ways with the reason that they
no more want them, are saved by HAPS and adopted to a new family.
Based on
the information by the people around, puppies found thrown to the garbage are
also collected, fed and cleaned by HAPS team and advertised to people for
them to get a family and successfully adopted to a family.
A kitten
found thrown in sewage tunnel is also reported to our office and saved by
HAPS and finally the lady found her adopted her after HAPS facilitated
medical treatment for her.
What we
need
Our
society HAPS is badly in need of running costs for the following expenses
until it is being managed to get budget for the planned programs:-
-
Pay
bills
-
Buy fuel
and pay for car maintenance and KM service of the car we are using for all
activities of the society
-
Pay vet.
fee for handling emergency cases
-
To
facilitate Adoption
-
And
different very crucial administrative expenses
Problems
People
having their own interest are still coming up by having the mentality of the
Bale dog shooters to create pressure on the activity of our society instead
of encouraging our establishment and successfully management of such an
organization working for animals in this socio economically backward country.
Due to
this and other related problems our society could not manage to get the
necessary support to implement its annual plan.
Our
society is unable to give temporary shelter for rescued dogs and respond to
all rescue calls as it does before due to lack of capacity to rent a shelter
and cannot resist the rescue voice of dogs here and there.
Special
thanks!!!
We deeply
thank our regular supporter and the originator of our society Kim Bartlett,
President of
ANIMAL PEOPLE USA
for her kind support in paying the salary for the management and for the
running cost through all the current world financial crises.
Katrina
Morison and her husband Dave Price from Australia for their kind financial
support which relieves our society from its current problems apart from their
continual support.
We also
would like to thank Marilyn and Jack Weaver
for their kind donation and respect they have for our work for the animals.

Activity Report
February 1st – 28th
Administrative activities
Besides the
day to day administrative activities, discussion about the current situation
and problems facing the society has been done with different concerned bodies
to get solutions and ensure the continuation of the society for the animals,
a request for the assembly hall for the general assembly meeting has also
been done to the organization that co-operated the society in the last year’s
meeting though it has been allowed to use the hall the building was in
renewal process.
Education activities
As usual
the awareness creation activity towards animal welfare and the importance of
spay neuter and vaccination for pets in terms of keeping the health of the
community and the animals has been done by using the society’s car and
megaphone and by distributing informational leaflets to keep the public
informed about the issue.
Based on
this several telephone calls have been handled from the people who need
information about different problems they are facing with their pets in which
most of them are directed to their nearby vet clinics.
Emergency care
As a result of the above mentioned extensive educational activities several
emergency reports of severely hurt and sick homeless dogs suffering with pain
in the middle of the street have been received from different location of the
city and were handled.
Adoption
It is being
managed to successfully adopt the dog found wounded by car accident and saved
by two American people that were kept under a shade for treatment which were
looked after by HAPS for weeks and already reported in the January 2009
report.
What we
need
Until it
is being managed to get the funds for the planned activities for the year
2009, prepared to reestablish the shelter and work in an organized manner, we
are really in need of financial support at least to handle the emergency
cases that are reported to our office every day and to carry on the awareness
creation work and the administrative activities.
We need
at least 2000 USD per month to cover expenses such as:-
-
Pay
bills
-
Buy fuel
and pay for car maintenance and KM service of the car we are using for all
activities of the society
-
Pay vet.
fee for handling emergency cases
-
To
facilitate Adoption
