New global organization for animal welfare prioritizes involving kids
Anna Katogiritis is the founder of Veterinary Global Aid (VGA), an organization supporting animal welfare, environmental health, and interactions with human health through expertise and education intended to change the way animals are treated across the world. “Part of the mission for VGA is . . . to inspire young kids and youth to take action for animals in their areas,” Katogiritis says. “I've come to understand over the years that unless you involve kids in anything you do, there's really no future in our efforts. So when I do spay-and-neuter campaigns or any program that involves animals, I always invite schools to join. I usually go to schools a day before and teach the kids with interactive storytelling. And then I invite the kids to the program, and I have them see firsthand what we do.”
