Hello from Sean

Volunteering
(擔任志工)

大家好！
歡迎訂閱AnimalsTaiwan 第一期新聞報，可讓您隨時掌握會內活動的近況。在本期新聞報中，您將會得知已發生和即將發生的大事件，還有需要您一臂之力的地方。我們的宗旨，就是盡力改善台灣動物的現況，為牠們謀取最大福利。目前為止，動物台灣已經整救了一百三十多隻動物，其中有不幸的狗狗、需要照料的貓咪、被遺棄的鸚鵡和蝙蝠寶寶。

Welcome to the first issue of the newsletter, a brand new way to keep you informed of all the goings-on at AnimalsTaiwan.  Within the newsletter you can read all about what has been happening, what will be happening soon, and ways you can help.  It is our goal to make a significant difference to the lives of as many animals as possible here in Taiwan.  To date, AnimalsTaiwan has helped over 130 animals, from dogs in distress and cats in need of care, to abandoned budgies and baby bats.

This month has been an exciting one for us as we have recently signed the lease on a property in which to board our animals.  After months of looking for the perfect location we have finally found a location in the Shilin district of Taipei.

Many dedicated volunteers have been hard at work and have spent many hours cleaning and painting the facility.  Our next step is to start building kennels for our dogs.  If you have any experience in this area or would like to help out , please get in touch with Tracey or Yael.  They would be thrilled to hear from you!

The facility should be fully up and running in a few weeks.  When it is ready, we plan to have  a "Grand Opening"  to meet and thank all of our amazing volunteers and supporters! Also, we will soon have a volunteer drop-in center with information and resources for people who would like to get more involved and help out.

I would love to meet all of you and thank you in person for your interest in AnimalsTaiwan, and for your concern for the welfare of our four-legged, furry, and feathered friends on this island many of us call home. Without your support, there would be no AnimalsTaiwan, and a lot fewer animals whose lives have been changed thanks to our intervention on your behalf.

So, please enjoy the newsletter. If you have any suggestions of what you might like to see in the next issue, do let us know. We always like to hear from you.



Take care,


Sean McCormack

六月份對AnimalsTaiwan來說，是一個激勵的月份，經過數個月的搜尋，因為我們終於在前幾個星期在天母租下了可以安置這些動物們的完美場所，而新的收容中心就在士林捷運站附近。

許多志工們在過去幾個星期中，付出了許多的時間與體力，進行收容中心的清掃、油漆等工作；我們的下一個目標為開始為狗兒們建造狗舍。要是你對於建造狗舍有經驗，也願意幫助我們，請與Tracey或Yael聯繫，她們將會很樂意收到您的訊息！

收容中心預計在幾個星期後就會開始運作了，當一切就緒後，我們也期待邀請所有志工們前來看看我們所收留與照顧的動物們。不久後，我們也將在中心內提供志工相關資訊，讓大家知道如何提供AnimalsTaiwan協助。

我希望能有機會認識每位支持AnimalsTaiwan 的朋友，並親自謝謝您對我們組織的關注，也謝謝您關心這個島嶼上所有飛禽走獸的福祉。沒有您的支持，就沒有AnimalsTaiwan，更不會有許許多多因為我們出手相助而改變其一生的不幸動物。

請您耐心讀完我們的新聞報，如果您對下一期的內容有任何建議，我們隨時歡迎您分享寶貴的意見。


祝平安
