We started our service projects today! A few of us decided to volunteer at SAGA Humane Society. SAGA is a non-profit veterinary clinic on the island that hopes to prevent animal cruelty and replace it with kindness to all animals. They provide medical care and shelter to animals in need and subsidizing veterinary care to low-income families. Our job is to volunteer a few times a week after school and walk the dogs in order to give them some play time and exercise so that they can get a new change of scenery for a bit!The dogs are SO CUTE! I want to take all of them home (can I mom?!) I was given a 6 month old mixed breed to walk named Tiki (I call her Tiki Rafiki). It's evident that the dogs here are so well cared for and are just happy to be out of the fence and getting some time to explore. Although they aren't leash-trained very well, they behaved and seemed to be friendly dogs to children and other animals. We brought a few of our dogs to the beach and called ourselves "squad goals". Check out their website! http://sagahumanesociety.org
The other interesting thing that happened on Thursday night was that the power went out on the whole island!! This obviously means no light in our rooms, no AC, no electricity. We felt like we were camping!! It's very, very hot and humid here, which means sleeping was no fun! Power came back on in the middle of the night, but it was so strong and at once that it blew out fuses and telephone poles caught on fire! It took them another day to fix it!
