Animal Rescue with Jutta Shelter in Crete

Jutta shelter rescues and takes care of around 100 abused, abandoned stray dogs and cats. It also feeds and provides medical care to stray animals in Ierapetra. It is run by its founder, Ioannis, pictured left, who has been involved in animal welfare for over 20 years.The shelter was originally in 2 sites, but it had to be downsized to the current site as it could not afford to run two shelters and provide care to an ever increasing number of animals in need. It receives no financial help from the state and it relies solely on donations. The shelter’s dream is to refurbish the derelict house, creating rooms for elderly, special needs animals, an area for new arrivals and a room for volunteers. Some of the animals, like Aftakias pictured right, , have been here for years. He was a hunter’s dog, abandoned in the mountains to die. Close to death from starvation when rescued. He was brought to the shelter and nursed back to health with special food. The dogs are grouped in small numbers and live in large outdoor enclosures, where they can run and play; safe and well fed. If they are not adopted, we are committed to keeping them safe and happy for life. A lot of them arrive ill, starved, abused, neglected and scared of humans. They all have a sad past. With a lot of love and patience, they are slowly healed and given the chance of living a beautiful life!

Pictured above left is Valentina who is a volunteer at the shelter and every day she looks after many stray cats in her town. I’ve been following the shelter for a little while and they are doing great works, including the building of a large cat shelter so that the strays can be rehomed away from the busy streets. Some of the animals that need help are in a very bad way but it is great to see the care and love that Ioannis and Valentina provide to turn their lives around. Angie

Laptops and Tablets Needed! Yate Rotary Club steps up the appeal!

It has been much publicised in the media in the last few weeks, that many of our school children are unable to access their online lessons, either to learn or to submit their work, or to conduct research on the internet, because they have no computer at home.

Our schools are doing a fantastic job, somehow managing to teach the children of key workers who have to be in school, and at the same time, providing a curriculum online for the children who are home-schooling.

There must be many people in our community who have recently upgraded their home computers, or indeed their office computers, and now have unused laptops or tablets.

If you have an unused laptop which you would like to donate to a school for use by a child without access to the internet, please get in touch with Yate Rotary Club. We are working with the BBC Computers for Schools campaign, and with Business2Schools, a national charity enabling and promoting a network of donors and schools.

We can collect your device from you, and have the expertise within our Rotary Club to be able to wipe it clean. Then we can pass it to a local school to have the correct programs loaded, and the school will identify a child or older student who needs it. If you can offer a laptop or tablet, please get in touch via the website: www.yaterotaryclub.co.uk or telephone Marian Gilpin on 01454 321323.

Sodbury Town Council initiates Climate Group. Sodbury Town Council has formed a Climate Group with a view to finding ways to meet the challenges faced by our communities as a result of global warming. The earth‟s temperature has increased by 3% in the last 50 years, and it has been largely caused by the release of too much carbon dioxide and methane into the air, creating a sort of blanket over the atmosphere, and starting a whole chain of events which break down our ecosystems, change our weather patterns and threaten the existence of many living creatures. The Climate Group is setting out to identify things which all of us can do to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and to promote energy-saving ideas. Initial plans include the promotion of renewable energy installations (solar panels. Air source heat pumps, windmills) reduction of waste, planting of many more trees, reducing our reliance on cars and avoiding plastic packaging. If anyone in the Sodbury area is interested in joining this Climate Group, please contact Sodbury Town Council. Email: enquiries@sodburytowncouncil.gov.uk
