Sophie-3/6/09-Animal Haven

Today, Meghan, Anna, Edith and I went to Animal Haven to work some more with the organization. This time we arrived on time and didn’t get lost. We were greeted by the receptionist, who told us to head up stairs to meet Tiffany. Normally, we would work with Kendra, but she is having oral surgery so we came to help Tiffany. She was very nice and set us right to work on all the things to be done. Since they are a small, non-profit organization there were many things to be done. This time though, I have to say that we didn’t work so much with the animals, but more on helping the organization with simple tasks. Meghan and Anna had to address envelopes while Edith and I organized files. We then got to play with a dog and then socialize with the cats. There was one cat, who was really beaten up, but the sweetest cat ever and we all wished we could support it. I think we all did what we were supposed to do and we did it well. I just think that we didn’t do so much to help the animals. We are still worried and trying to figure out how this connects to sustainability. We all understands that this is sustaining the animal community and we all love helping out. Just sometimes we feel it would have been easier if we chosen and organization that was more clear cut on how it connects to sustainability (like water issues or green gardens etc.). We still all love it there and we are going back tomorrow.
