Volunteers at the AVA roadshow


These were some of the volunteers who helped me to man the booth for Cat Welfare Society the the roadshow last weekend.

Michelle came on Sat morning to receive the token of appreciation from the GOH, Dr Maliki, Parliamentary Secretary (National Development). Dawn also came down to relieve me while my friend, Lorraine and I had lunch. Lorraine volunteered and also bought a few stuff from CWS.

Our friend, Fion also came down to support us and the animal welfare groups. The volunteer for the afternoon, Praveena accompanied me in the afternoon until a regular volunteer, Colin helped till we packed up at 9pm.

On Sun morning, a new volunteer Maggie came to help and the poor girl is allergic to cat fur and had hives on her face but she loves cats. Another regular Zhenyuan and a new volunteer, Wei Ling also joined us. Wei Ling was actually helping House Rabbit Society of Singapore the day before.

For the afternoon, another new volunteer, Danny came and followed by 2 regular volunteers, Caron and Nurul. As it was quiet at CWS booth at times, we shared our experiences with our community cats and pet cats. It was very different from the usual conversation with my colleagues and friends who are not caregivers. The volunteers and I are talking about our cats like how some people talk about their children :)

Thanks to the volunteers/friends who helped and friends who visited and supporters of CWS, we have raised some funds for CWS.
