To help other people at all times

The Boy Scout Troop 34 from Camp Zama arrived in Inawashiro for a long day of building, cleaning, dog walking and a generous donation of supplies and cat and dog food.

In uniform at dinner in the excellent Club Lohas cafe.

These young men managed to gather more than 600 pounds of pet food from supporters; two vans full! And, they put all of the pet food away themselves. George was the organizer of the entire trip. He collected the donations and then used them to buy the supplies for winterizing the kennels, as well as insulating the floors. Some other goodies that we needed too!

These guys worked tirelessly, cleaning the kennels, and preparing them for the floor tiles and putting up the plastic sheeting on the outer walls. The kennels nearly sparkled, when the guys were finished!

In front of the result of their hard work–our newly reinforced kennels!
