The shelter is doing well. We're entirely operated by the generosity of the community.

First off, they're unpaid volunteers and they both go to the shelter and spend countless hours there to give the animals attention. It's a rare thing when you see someone who is so involved with animal care and they get along so well with people.

Royal Oak seems to be a city of animal lovers. It's ingrained in this town.

We received a great response within the local business community. We are very grateful for their generosity.

They (refugees) have continued to receive half rations and we hope the generosity shown by the international community in the past will be repeated.

I would like to thank these community-minded organizations. After all, it is due to their generosity that this event is such a huge success, year after year.
