Santa has his little helpers, Robin Hood had his Merry Men and KAR has some FABTASTIC Volunteers …. we have lots of them (although still not as many as we need) and week in week out they help in so many ways. They beaver away raising funds, collecting donations, sorting donations, manning (or ladying !) our charity shops, selling books, emptying donations boxes, catching cats, walking dogs, singing their songs, and so much more. They ALL give up their time to help KAR.
Meet 4 of them-…..
Steve comes over several times a year – with his family who all spend time up at the center – building, repairing putting hands onto anything that needs doing. He also comes over alone – this time for 2 weeks when he has spent EVERY day up at the center working his shorts off – so much so that he had to buy new ones !!!
Arthur is another of our regular Mr Fixits – he makes new kennels, repairs kennels, revamps collection boxes and nothing is too much trouble for him – he is so keen to help in any way he can.
Robin (and family) is also a regular – he also comes over from the UK several times a year and much of that time is spent, by the whole family, up at the center helping in any way they can. This time his friend Patrick came along to help out too. They have been busy repairing fences, concreting compounds fixing anything that needs fixing.
Why do they do it ? because they care – and because they care KARs dogs and cats benefit.
So as our Bazaar day approaches and all of our FABTASTIC Volunteers are busy busy busy – we would like to thank EACH and EVERYONE of them – together we are part of Team KAR.
PS – another part of this FGF is that both Steve and Robin have adopted KAR Center dogs (Daisy and Daz – a clear case of Little and Large !!) so watch out for their stories coming in the New Year YAY !
