2023 Summer 台灣之心浪浪講座 Taiwan Heart Stray Animal Seminar

今年夏天我們邀請台灣之心愛護動物協會為我們傳遞正確的動物保護知識

This summer, we invited the Heart of Taiwan Animal Care Association to provide us with accurate knowledge about animal protection.

台灣之心成立於2012年，以「教育、絕育、倡議」三者為核心價值，努力締造溫和而切實的改變，逐步為台灣流浪動物尋找最合適的生活方式。Established in 2012, the Heart of Taiwan is dedicated to the core values of "education, sterilization, and advocacy," striving to create a gentle yet substantial change and gradually find the most suitable way of life for Taiwan's stray animals.

這次活動我們由我們主動邀請講師替我們授課，過程中我們提出了企劃，並且與講師接洽。在活動中遇到比較困難的事情是講師的費用，我們透過勸募過程不僅籌足講師費用，也募得台幣七千元整為流浪貓犬盡一份心力。

For this event, we took the initiative to invite lecturers to teach and worked on the planning, coordinating with the speakers. One of the challenges during the event was the cost of the lecturer. Through a fundraising process, we not only raised enough funds for the lecturer's fee but also collected a total of 7,000 New Taiwan Dollars to contribute to the welfare of stray cats and dogs.

當然，這份具有生命意義的活動我們想邀請更多人前來參加，因此我們推廣這次講座，原先只有我們3個人的活動，最後擴大到25人參加。

Of course, for this meaningful event that carries the significance of life, we wanted to invite more people to participate. Therefore, we promoted the seminar, which initially was intended for only the three of us, and eventually expanded to accommodate 25 participants.

特別感謝台灣之心講師Monica，參加完這場動物講座後，我們深刻體會到人類與動物之間緊密而脆弱的聯繫。這次講座不僅提醒了我們保護動物的重要性，也呼籲大家積極參與動物保護事業。講者所分享的案例和故事讓我對動物權益的議題有了更深入的了解。我們深感有責任對待身邊的動物，並且希望能透過個人的努力，為改善動物的生活環境盡一份力量。

A special thanks to Monica, the lecturer from the Heart of Taiwan, after attending this animal seminar, we deeply realized the close yet delicate connection between humans and animals. This lecture not only reminded us of the importance of animal protection but also urged everyone to actively engage in animal welfare. The cases and stories shared by the speaker provided me with a deeper understanding of animal rights issues. We feel a responsibility to treat the animals around us well and hope to contribute to improving their living environment through our own efforts.
