This is Susie Lee of the been-closed for OVER a year once-upon-a-time Ferret & Dove Sanctuary, Inc. of Pensacola, Florida. I am promoting this now-ancient video of our Sanctuary Just For the Ferret Mailing List because this is something MANY of you rescues and rescuers "out there" can use in the way of good volunteer help. The children shown in this video were middle-school kids from a school in our town who were accompanied by two teachers and a school counselor to make a volunteering-and-learning project of our shelter (and, later the local Wildlife Sanctuary at my suggestion) and meanwhile helped a good deal with cleaning-up and care-giving for those ferrets whom i deemed safe for them to handle at that time, and even helped pain one of the ferrets' rooms, rolling the cages out (we had them ALL on wheels!) and so this old video makes a great example of what an innovative teacher or two can do to help the children get responsible hands-on learning. Also, to have the shelters get good volunteer help, even if only for a day or several. Plus being able to educate the public is almost its own reward! http://youtu.be/dVpGUGoWyK4 I am not in this video, but Wesley was in part of the background, wearing an Oxford Ferret Rescue t-shirt :) [Posted in FML 7314]
