First Student Visit of 2008



A small group of students from the Middle East Technical University (METU) in Kalkanli made a visit to the Kyrenia Animal Rescue Centre on Sunday 6th January. Teacher Özlem Boyd, who teaches English and foreign languages, arranged the visit to show her students the workings of KAR following an earlier visit she made to the centre.

It was also an opportunity for the first year students, who all come from Turkey, to see the workings of a non profit making organisation. "The students are really keen to raise money to help KAR and to raise public awareness," said Özlem. "We will be having some brain storming sessions (in English) to come up with new ideas, as well as collecting old clothes, shoes and books for the Charity Shop in Girne."

Most of the students walked dogs and some were tearful as they had to say 'good bye' to their new four legged friends.
