Christmas Bazaar 15-12-2019

After all the rain and storm on Saturday the weather on Sunday was lovely. A perfect day for our Christmas Bazaar.
The fact that the Women's Club To Palataki moved their event from Saturday to Sunday only made it better. Together we formed a nice attraction for all visitors.

And we raised a wonderful € 551,00 for the animals!

We thank Taverna Stelios for using his place, Hakuna Matata for lending us his grill, Jackie for making beautiful handmade products, Jürgen for donating and selling the glühwein, Gitti for making and selling waffles, Arno for grilling the sausages and Petra for organising it all.

And of course we thank all the other stand holders and the people who visited us.

We hope to see you next year again!

7 new puppies

A young man was jogging up the mountain in Potamia, when he saw a ripped open plastic bag with 7 very young puppies. Since he was on foot he couldn't take them with him. As soon as he could he called us and asked for help.

It was already getting dark, so we contacted Philip who lives in the area and asked if he could go with the young man to the place where he saw them and keep the puppies overnight. And so he did.
They were very lucky because the same night it started to rain and there was snowfall in the mountains. No way they would have survived that.
The next day Philip brought them to Kalivia where Tanja took them over.
They are 4 boys and 3 girls, approximately 10 days old.

Bottle feeding 7 puppies is quite a job, so if anyone on the island is willing to foster 2 or more of them, that would be a great help.
Also any donation, big or small, will be very helpful, thinking of 7x flea and worm treatment, vaccinations, microchip, etc.
