An email from Daniel to his cousin Ben
Hi Ben,
How is life in London? I hope your football team is winning. I
have some exciting news. Every Friday morning, I now volunteer at an
animal shelter near my house in Haifa. My mum found it online. She
said it was a good way to do something useful, and I agreed, because I
love animals.
The shelter is home to about sixty dogs and forty cats. Most of
them were found in the street. Some were left by their owners, and
that makes me really sad. The workers there give them food, medicine
and a lot of love until a new family adopts them.
On my first day, I was a little nervous. The dogs were barking
very loudly, and I did not know what to do. Rina, the manager, gave me
easy jobs first. I cleaned the water bowls and filled them again.
After an hour, she let me walk a dog called Pilpel. He is small and
black, with one white ear. He pulled me all the way to the park!
Now I go every week. My favourite job is playing with the puppies,
but I also have to clean the cages. That part is not much fun, I have
to say. The best day was last Friday, when a young couple came and
adopted Pilpel. I was happy for him, but I also cried a little when he
left.
Rina says the shelter always needs more volunteers. Maybe when you
visit us in the summer, you can come with me? I promise I will give
you the cage-cleaning job!
Write soon,
Daniel
