We have also sent many parcels of kindly   donated coats, medicines and blankets to   RECAL to aid their work as you can see in the photo below.    Mada sends  her “thanks” to everyone for these, they are much needed.   As well as rescuing galgos in her local area Mada organises exhibitions and events to raise awareness of the plight of the galgos and also to  encourage people to regard them more as pets and offer them a home. She is very keen to help us with our   Educational booklet and has already enlisted interest and support from other refuges and schools in and around  the Extremadura  region of Spain.     Mada came to the UK to meet us to discuss the booklet which is aimed at young schoolchildren, in an attempt to instil in them an understanding of the needs of all animals as sentient beings and also a realisation of the dire plight of Spanish galgos.   The experience of many animal welfare groups teaches us that it is to the   rising   generation   that   we must turn if any lasting good is to be achieved. We are all excited about the launch of this booklet and are very grateful to Mada for the work she has already done in Spain to help get this project off the ground and also for her   enthusiasm and ideas for the   future.     9 Galgos at the RECAL refuge wearing coats kindly made and donated   by GIN supporters
