It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our Secretary, Joop van Egmond on June 4th 2020.
He died peacefully at home after a long illness which he bore with great courage and dignity.
Joop was one of the original founder members of ACT and was totally committed both to the organisation and the animals which it helps. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes, transporting dogs to airports, our trade stand to various selling events and assisting with our building projects. Amazingly, he even found time, with Tanja, to foster dogs which were too old or unwell to leave the island, as well as feeding and exercising the dogs in our enclosure in Kalivia. And of course we must not forget all the cats that he helped with !
So, old friend, rest in peace and take our love and gratitude with you.
