IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Our school education team included our education manager, the Principle Education Officer for Gulu City, the Lead Canine Officer with Gulu Police Department and three dogs and guardians from The Comfort Dog Project. The education team visited 28 schools, reaching 13,757 students and their teachers and provided information about The Five Animal Freedoms, animal health, rabies prevention, Uganda's anti-cruelty laws, how to communicate with and train dogs, and the health benefits of having dogs as friends. 12,669 copies of "The Great Dog Guardian Book" were distributed. With a talented local artist, our Art for Animals program created 16 school murals depicting positive interactions between children and dogs. We produced 62 radio talk shows on MEGA FM and Favour FM about animal health and welfare, laws protecting animals, rabies, the healing power of human-animal bonds, and other timely veterinary issues.
