Quem ajuda o Davis,o nosso shar pei?

A lesão medular é uma das principais causas de paralisia na clínica para cães. Esta perturbação dá origem a lesões que conduzem à destruição progressiva dos tecidos neurológicos. As consequências são desastrosas. O animal perde todas as funções motoras e a capacidade de percepção sensorial.Para corrigir a lesão o Davis tem de ser submetido a uma laminectomia dorsal realizada por um neurocirurgião. Neste momento ele coxeia, perdeu força e sensibilidade nas patas traseiras, faz muito esforço para se levantar e por vezes recusa-se a fazê-lo, de manhã, sobretudo, e mesmo para ir comer.Tem dores e toma diariamente comprimidos para o seu controlo. Sem a operação ele acabará por deixar de andar e por fim, quando já não for possível controlar a dor, não restará outra hipótese senão adormecê-lo. É isto que queremos evitar a todo o custo. Existem três formas de ajudar o Davis! 1. Divulgando esta situação! Use o poder da internet. 2. Fazendo um donativo em dinheiro! Toda e qualquer ajuda conta. 3...

Como foi o evento de celebração africana em Carrickfergus?

Image
Há uns meses atrás promovi activamente um evento de temática africana no meu blogue e redes por entender que mercê da ligação de Portugal com o continente africano - e não apenas com os PALOP'S - haveria quem quisesse ajudar a Rosetta no seu esforço de angariar dinheiro para instituições africanas que combatem o abuso sexual infantil, um problema que ali assume proporções gravíssimas. Não tive grande sucesso, digo-o sem reservas. Houve algumas promessas mas não se concretizaram. Ainda assim a Paula Pereira viu o meu repto e não só enviou trabalhos como até foi à Irelanda, e ajudou no evento, como júri. Isso foi excelente. Eu consegui vender as colagens e o dinheiro vai para África. Eu nunca poderia doar esse montante, se quisesse doar dinheiro, teria de ser um valor inferior. E fiquei duplamente contente quando soube que as colagens tinham sido compradas pela mesma pessoa. 2011 Ano Internacional da Celebração dos Povos de Descendência Africana - "CARRICKFERGUS COM...

How it was at Carrickfergus African theme celebration

Image
Some months ago I used this blog to promote a charity event that would take place at Carrickfergus, northern Ireland. I helped Rosetta translating information to Portuguese language as I thought Portuguese would like to particiapte as we have a past in what african land concerns and not just the actual PALOP's - Portuguese Language Expression Countries. Money raised was to be sent to African institutions that fight african children sexual abuse. The reception wasn't what I expected but at least one Portuguese artist took interested in it. (Rosetta's Portuguese friend Isaura was already participating.) Paula Pereira participated at the charity event and even attended it. Here are some photos of the event and a text summarizing what happened. My two collages were sold at the charity exhibition!I am so pleased!
