PROJECT
Help Fund a Successful Humane Education Program
“Everyone deserves to be treated with respect.”
That was how one student responded to the question about what he learned after the conclusion of last year’s Caring Communities program.
That simple thought says it all. Learning to connect with a living being creates a ripple effect through out that individual’s life impacting parents, siblings, other relatives and friends. 95% of the students from Spring 08 said that the Caring Communities program changed the way they thought about pets.
Caring Communities is the Humane Society Silicon Valley’s on-going outreach program to elementary age school children. It costs $500 in supplies for each 8 week program.

Caring Communities
How we treat animals in our society reflects how we treat one another. The chain of spousal abuse, child abuse and escalating violence towards others has been compellingly linked with early exposure to animal cruelty. Equally compelling is the growing evidence that the most important way we can prepare our children for a successful adulthood is to help them develop Emotional Intelligence. EI helps individuals cope with the stresses of the modern world, maintain healthy interpersonal relationships and have a positive and proactive role in community life.
Caring Communities is an 8-week program designed to help third graders practice life skills such as empathy, responsibility, and citizenship by exploring human-animal connections in the classroom. Students from each class will learn how to read animal body language and practice strategies for staying safe, they will discover how our actions affect animals in our community and implement projects that will make the world a better place for animals.
