Rihab Mazigh, who came from Tunisia with our European Solidarity Corps Project “Hands & Paws”, completed her 12-month long service and came back her home. During her activity, Rihab worked on her two passions: animal welfare and products themed Christmas, Valentine’s Day and summer to be sold for stray animals. The income from the sales was spent fort he surgeries, treatment and food for the stray animals. She gave them a place of warmth and comfort while they recovered from their injuries and surgeries. One of those stray cats that Rihab wound up adopting permanently, a lovely cat named “Cookie” who was unfortunately diagnosed with a chronic gastrointestinal condition but was able to receive treatment due to the selfless efforts of Rihab and our association. Also Rihab took Turkish courses. She learned about the Turkish culture. She made friends with the Turkish people and the volunteers who came from different countries. Many thanks to Rihab for her outstanding efforts for us.
