KUCHING: Democratic Action Party (DAP) Kuching on Wednesday donated a total of 335 kilogrammes of dog and cat food to Save Our Strays (SOS-Kuching) NGO, to help assist the team in their work and appreciate them especially during the handling of the recent rabies outbreak.
SOS is a non-profit all volunteers group, that does rescue operations, trapping, neutering, and feeding dogs and cats on the streets of Kuching.
It is understood that all the expenses of this organisation and the feeding of cats and dogs are dependent on the contributions from the public. Therefore, the DAP took the initiative to donate to their efforts in appreciation of what they do. A total of 20 packs of 15 kilogrammes dog food and five packs of 7-kilo cat food was donated to the organisation.
On that day Pending Assemblywoman Violet Yong, Dr Kelvin Yii (Special Assistant to Chong Chieng Jen) and other fellow DAP members were on site to help transport the donated food to Animal World Kingdom located at King Centre, the organisation that is responsible for collecting donations from members of the public to this organisation.
Members of the SOS organisation were also on site to receive the donation.
“We also would like to encourage any other members of the public who wishes to donate to this organisation to contact them and together we all play our part in making our city better,” the spokesperson said when speaking to New Sarawak Tribune at the donation site.
