Annelieke Laninga
Program Director, StrayBuddy
“I am truly grateful for the support provided by Ms. Preeti to a community initiative that aims at convincing young and old to refrain from bursting firecrackers in this festive season and promoting an animal friendly Diwali. Volunteers active in the Stray Buddy program of the NGO All Creatures Great and Small decided to organize a Canine Carnival Fair to raise awareness and funds for their community dogs. Without DreamWeb India’s involvement, the anti-firecracker campaign and fair would not have been as successful as it was. From providing conceptual and strategic guidance to relevant blogs, from connecting with schools to ensure children’s engagement in the campaign to logistical support in preparing and executing the event, Ms. Preeti has been a mentor to me in the past month. With support from her team, the quality of the campaign and event was elevated greatly. To me this experience became a steppingstone to allow the Stray Buddy program to scale up and professionalize, further expanding its impact on the welfare of both animals and residents. @Preeti: apart from finding a new friend in you, I would also appreciate if DreamWeb India could continue to walk the path alongside me to take Stray Buddy to the next level. Thank you once again, a thousand times!”
