Ernestas Lingvinas -
On the 25th of October students
from IB1 and IB2 were volunteering in animal shelter “Šiaulių letenėlė”. The main goal of this organization is to save
all animals from Gruzdžiai since they are euthanized there immediately and also
to give a shelter for all lost and homeless animals. However, this animal shelter opened just on
August and still haven’t settled down fully so they can’t fulfill their goals
one hundred percent. The main reason for
this is that the building is still not prepared and there is not enough
equipment so the personnel of the shelter can’t take care of more animals.
That’s why every weekend volunteer work is organized.
This Saturday we were cleaning
the surroundings of the shelter. Firstly, we carried boards from outside to the
inside of the building so that they would not rot. After that we collected all
waste that was left in the building and outside. And then we carried those
garbage bags to the tractor trailer. After this the surroundings looked
significantly cleaner and next time we’ll be able to focus on different jobs
that needs to be done. After volunteering, I realized that there isn’t enough
support for animal shelters and that without volunteers like us and the
directors of the shelter the situation would be even worse. So if you’re able
to somehow support this or others shelters please do because there are plenty
of animals that needs your help.
