Sarah Killough- Dahr, founder of AAMOR, now
living in India. She helped us buy a home for our
orphans. Sarah also sponsored the first interna-tional
spay-campaign in 1999 and donated medi-cines and equipment for the
operation room andthe laboratory. Her last donation in 2002
was a much needed vehicle to help strays in the villages.
These friends made the most important personal or finantial
contributions to AAMOR.
However, many others helped us
survive in very difficult times -
and even grow. All those who gave our orphans a
loving home, those who participated in rescues, those who spread the
concepts of animals' rights, those who occasionally donate a gallon of
desinfectant or some towels, those that help us overcome our "downs"
when difficulties seem to outreach our strength, are all our
dearest friends. To all of them our deepest gratitude on behalf
of Margarita's animals.
It is great working together...
STICHTING DIERENHULP VENEZUELA - On Dec. 2001, SDV and AAMOR
decided to join efforts to help Margarita's animals. We thank
Chairman Mark Vos, Dutch tourists and Maria Vekmeulen for
promoting this relationship. Since
then, SDV is responsible for the purchase of next door
house to extend our clinic, for its partial refurbishing and for the
sponsorship of Spay-a-thons III and IV (357 dogs/cats
spayed/castrated). The local Dutch community and the Dutch tourists are
also overjoyed by SDV's active role in helping Margarita's animals!
Their donations allowed the purchase and construction of our
shelter and basic health care facilities.
President Dr. Schmid and Herr B. Trachsel also
listened to our plight to help Margarita's strays. This
organization contributed to the purchase of the property with a
generous donation. And more recently, for the
hospi-talization ward and the quarantine area.
Frau Elisabeth Merz opened us the first door to foreign help in
2000. Her organization donated materials for spay/neuter
campaigns. They also helped us purchase our property and build
the hospitalization ward and the quarantine area.
FUNDACION PURINA DE VENEZUELA - The Purina Foundation helped us
feed our orphans since 1997. Regretfully, recent extreme
hardships of the Venezuelan economy forced them to suspend all
help to all charities.
We wish them a prompt recovery and hope to start working together again soon!
They donated knowledge...
The Pegasus Foundation and the Humane Society International
invited us to Animal Care Expo last year. It was a great opportunity to
share experiences with other humane society professionals and to
acquire valauble knowledge to improve our protocols and our
operations. We were also invited to an internship at the Treasure
Coast Humane Society in Stuart, Florida, US, which introduced to
us the operations of a magnificent
shelter which is involved in far reaching educational programs.
Drs. Christopher Ficke from CHESTER VETERINARY CLINIC (USA), Beatrijs (Belgium), Eliseth Rojas (Venezuela) and part of the team participating pro-bono in our first International Spay/ neuter Campaign in 1999.
German vets Drs. Beatrix Dörr and Christian Bartnik
participated pro-bono in our Second Inter-national Spay-a-thon in
2000. Beatrix again joined our team for our spay campaign in
December 2002.
SCHWEIZER HUNDEMAGAZIN, PARTNER HUND, EL SOL DE MARGARITA,THE DAILY JOURNAL and EL UNIVERSAL are just some of the newspapers or magazines to which we owe so much for supporting our work...
BEST OF SWITZERLAND TOURS, Zürich
Gabriela Kappeler introduced us to animals' rights and the
harsh realitites of the use of animals for experiments, entertainment
and production. Thanks to her initial enlightening and further
research, we have humbly broadened the spectrum of our work by trying
to create public awareness on such issues.
Sail Fast Shop - El Yaque
Babsi Eichinger is in charge of rescues in Playa
El Yaque and organizes spay/ neuter
campaigns with European vets. Babsi has achieved an
incredible change amongst local fisherment in their treatment of
animals. Thanks to Babsi and her family's dedication, many of our
orphans now live in loving German homes.
Surprised that most of our friends are foreigners or foreign based
organizations? The improvement achieved in Margarita during the
last years in the treatment of animals is already visible: more
and more low income persons bring their pets to our clinic for low cost
or free vaccination or spaying. More try to keep them free
of parasites, more are willing to assume some kind of
responsibility towards the dog leaving on their street.
However, it is extremely difficult to translate it into financial
help for our organization... it actually increases our costs...
and we have no means to modify the 70% poverty level and the
social and political situation, which make animal rights or needs
non-priority issues for possible donors or for individuals who must
struggle daily for their own survival.
