Bwindi Community Program is cautiously cheering the schools re-opening in Uganda. The students who expected to graduate in December of 2020 are heading back to their classrooms. If this goes well, more students will also return to school. It is a safety-minded, phased, re-opening and BCP hopes it goes well. The need for donations to the Children's Aid Fund just became more acute. If a sponsor is no longer able to help, this is the fund that will keep a student in school until new support is found. Any amount will be appreciated and the smile from Uganda will be bright! Call Jan Tanis at 204-1135 for help or donate online at BwindiCommunityProgram.org. Other Donations page.

Bottles and Formula Needed for Tiny Orphaned Kittens
See all wishes from Verde Valley Humane Society
Description
A kitten's best chance for survival is with mom, not in a shelter. We do not have the resources to care for kittens without a mother, who may need to be bottle-fed and haven't built up their immunity.But we also don't want to turn away people who find a kitten and want to help. So we're putting together some supplies and instructions to help those people care for the kittens at home until they are big enough to eat on their own, get spayed/neutered and if necessary, come back to us for adoption.
The problem - we're quickly running out of kitten bottles and milk replacement. If you can help, we are in need of KMR or PetLac brand liquid milk replacement (small packs preferred), and bottles designed specifically for kittens (PetAg is one brand - there may be others). They may be hard to find locally, but PetSense or Tractor Supply in Cottonwood or PetSmart in Sedona may have them. You can also shop online at Chewy, Amazon, or even Amazon.
Donations can be dropped of at VVHS during regular business hours or shipped to Verde Valley Humane Society at 1520 W. Mingus, Cottonwood, AZ 86326. Thank you!

Sadly, We've run out of peanut butter, though, and a Kong just isn't the same without it (we tried!). If you can help, we need smooth peanut butter - any brand, but NOT chunky and NOT sugar free. We are open if you would like to drop some off (keep social distancing in mind and wear a mask if possible), or order online (we'll post a suggested link in the comments) and have it sent to VVHS, 1520 W. Mingus, Cottonwood, AZ 86326. THANK YOU!

Discussions with current volunteers have revealed ten reasons why folks should volunteer to help their elderly or disabled neighbors as part of the Verde Valley Caregivers.Reason #1: Make a Difference in Your Community
VVCC is a network of people helping neighbors. As our population ages, every year there is an increasing need for assistance to elderly who want to stay in their own homes. At some point in time, most can no longer drive themselves. Without a convenient transit system, getting to medical appointments and running basic errands, such as grocery shopping, can be impossible.
VVCC fills this gap by providing over 2,200 older adults and adults with disabilities with transportation, shopping assistance, friendly visits, handyperson help and other services to help them stay in their own homes. Volunteer, John Wozniak, shares the importance of this goal to him. “Anything to help people stay in their own homes. It breaks my heart to see people sitting around in care centers.” He says, “neighbors are very gracious and very grateful.” He finds the work “very fulfilling”.

Fostering a pet is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. When you foster, you agree to take a homeless dog, cat, puppy or kitten into your home and give him or her love, care and attention, either for a predetermined period of time to recover from injury or illness or to grow old enough for adoption. The length of time a foster pet may stay in your home varies with the animal’s situation.By taking an animal in need temporarily into your home you’re freeing up a spot so VVHS can take in another dog or cat in need; giving your foster pet the time he needs to be ready for adoption; helping VVHS learn more about the pet so he or she will end up in the best home possible; and socializing the dog or cat to a home environment, other pets and different types of people.
To be a successful foster parent, you will need a compassionate nature, the cooperation of your family or roommates, flexibility, and some knowledge of animal behavior.
For more information about fostering a pet for Verde Valley Humane Society, call 928-634-PETS, email mclark@verdevalleyhumanesociety.org, or visit https://verdevalleyhumanesociety.org/foster/

Funding for a Spay/Neuter and Medical Clinic /Seeking Veterinarian
See all wishes from Red Rose Inspiration for Animals, Inc.
Description
LOOKING FOR A VETERINARIAN AND FUNDING FOR ANIMAL WELFARE SPAY/NEUTER MEDICAL CLINIC IN NORTHERN ARIZONA (VERDE VALLEY)Giving of ourselves: our time, love and compassion to the animals in need is what is most important to us at Red Rose Inspiration For Animals as we have been providing free services to felines and canines in this community for over 10 years now. However, we are limited to the amount of animals we are able to service?
We have been instrumental in the Verde Valley. Focused heavily in Camp Verde, Rimrock, Cottonwood and Cornville.
We are unique as 501c3 in animal welfare as we don’t have a facility and our focus is not taking in animals and adopting them out. Although we have done it in the past and on occasion we will still do it but our specialty is providing se
rvices in animal welfare.
With all the animal organizations in the Verde Valley we try to be particular and service the community in which we live on a different level as it wouldn’t do the animals any good if we all did the same thing. Fortunately, the one common goal we all have is to spay and neuter and make a difference in the over pet population as that is the most important goal for all of us universally. That is what we at Red Rose believe makes the biggest impact within our community.
TNR (Trap Neuter Return for Feral Cats) is a service we have been providing regularly since 2012. We have compassionate, experienced volunteers who set the traps and transport these kittens/cats to the vet and then return and release them back to their environment. Young kittens caught early enough are vaccinated, treated medically, altered and adopted out an experience that is life changing obviously for the better.
At Red Rose we assist homeless animals with emergency medical care. All animals including feral cats involved with Red Rose are treated for any medical conditions before being released. When pet owners on a
fixed income find themselves experiencing an emergency situation with their companion animal they are not always prepared to even cover the cost of an exam let alone medication and testing. With our help many pet owners have mentioned “they were able to keep their pet instead of having to give them up due to the cost and treatment.”
Red Rose has assisted hundreds of pet owners (especially seniors) in dire need so that they don’t further delay the animal having to suffer due to financial challenges.
We also assist with free spay and neuter services of felines and canines. Not only assisting pet owners who can’t afford the low cost spay neuter clinics in our community but also homeless animals that are either trapped or found as strays by kind compassionate people that are struggling financially and can’t take on the necessary veterinarian cost. Before moving any animal into the next phase we always encourage individuals to spay and neuter and offer financial assistance when they are in need. Spaying and neutering litters of kittens and puppies and the adult dogs that contributed to their existence whenever possible.
Red Rose has reached an obstacle in animal welfare as we currently NEED more working veterinarian partners or our own veterinarian as we are having to send some animals needing services to Flagstaff and Prescott. We feel if we had our own veterinarian and clinic we could do more.
We need more veterinarians willing to provide rescue pricing as we have pet owners wanting and desperately needing the services for their pets, not to mention the homeless animals.
The unfortunate part is many of the veterinarians in the Verde Valley are not willing to provide discounted services and that is a real obstacle for us because pet owners that are financially challenged needing emergency services have practically nowhere to turn if we don't have veterinarians willing to assist us. Many of the people we often assist don’t have credit cards and many try to apply for Care Credit at the veterinarian’s office only to be denied. Then what? Their animal is not serviced and is left to suffer. This has and continues to happen quite often.
Another problem is many veterinarians will not provide services to feral felines so they will not assist us with our TNR program either. We have had to cut back drastically in the last 24 months on the services because of this situation. You are probably wondering have we reached out to all the additional veterinarians in the area……the answer is yes and multiple times, with no luck. Thankfully the Village Vet Clinic in the Village of Oak Creek and Danza Del Sol has been helping us out but our need is greater than the amount of animals they can possibly see. .
Animals left to continue to reproduce often wind up abused, injured, or neglected as shelters across the country are filled with animals that are euthanized daily due to over pet population as we simply can’t adopt our way out of this problem.
Perhaps we will be fortunate to find a generous, retired, veterinarian willing to volunteer their time to helping our mission or we will be fortunate to open a clinic in the future. We encourage our supporters to help us find a veterinarian either a volunteer or a new professional to the area or one that is contracted.
When you support Red Rose 100% of the proceeds from our fundraising efforts from the Red Rose Thriftique, Red Rose Barkin Basement and our Red Rose Art Shows go to the overall mission of Red Rose Inspiration For Animals. 100% of a monetary donor’s donation goes directly to assisting the animals. No administrative cost or salaries as we are a small, volunteer based organization making a huge difference in the lives of animals throughout the Verde Valley.
On our 990 throughout the years we have a 99.98 percent rating for public support which we are quite proud of, as with us it’s all about servicing the animals. We are asking for anyone passionate about our mission to help us continue the work we do. We are most grateful for all we have accomplished through the years and continue to accomplish. Thank you for sharing and supporting us.

Verde Valley Food Project is looking for more Neighborhood Coordinators. It’s amazingly simple to be a Neighborhood Coordinator. Neighborhood Coordinators organize a small group of neighbors to be Food Donors. Each donor gets a reusable green bag to store food in. Every two months NC's pick up their donors full bags and leave an empty one for next time. On collection day, NC's pick up their donors bags and bring all the bags to a drop-off point at the Safeway/ReMax parking lot in West Sedona, where volunteers receive and sort it the food.Being a Neighborhood Coordinator takes only an hour or two every other a month! You might need to put a little more time in at the beginning, when you’re building your neighborhood. But it’s a surprisingly small time commitment, considering how big a difference you’ll be making.
That’s it. As you meet more neighbors and other NCs, your sense of community will grow, and it will add as much to your life as you will be adding to others’ lives. It’s something to look forward to.

Volunteers have been making warm hats and kindness charms all summer, and have used up the donations as fast as they have been contributed! If you can help fill the void, please take your offerings to ReMax in the Safeway shopping center at the corner of Rodeo Drive and State Route 89A. Thank you to everyone that has already contributed toward the magic of offering love and hope

Verde Valley Sanctuary clients are in need of laptops. Our clients typically leave abusive/violent homes with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. Clients shop at no cost in our thrift stores for items they need. However, we do not normally have donations of laptops in good running condition. If you know of someone who is ready to upgrade their technology, our clients would be so grateful to put your outmoded items to valuable use. Thank you in advance for sharing this giving opportunity with your personal and professional networks.

Volunteer companions provide company and assistance to neighbors while family caregivers take a much-needed break. The volunteer companions are not expected to provide nursing care or personal hygiene assistance.A current volunteer, Tony Isolda, learned about VVCC respite care when his wife was very ill. She got so much out of the visits that when she passed away, he decided he would like to give the gift of respite to others. In 2016 he volunteered with VVCC as a respite care giver.
When he goes to meet with a neighbor, he often brings some kind of treat. He said, “They’re lonely and want to talk.” One person he cares for, Donald, is 95. When Tony visits Donald they play games, read and have an enjoyable time. It gives Tony a good feeling about how his visits lift other’s spirits. From experience Tony says, “Those visits are better than a million bucks to a neighbor.”
To volunteer call (928) 204-1238 or email the Verde Valley Caregivers at operations@vvcaregivers.org. Tony is willing to talk to anyone who is interested in volunteering to answer questions about what it is like.

Thanks to everyone who has helped create this wonderful study and research space on a rural campus in SW Uganda. The community and the 650 students who board at Bishop Comboni Secondary School are SO appreciative. The first phase; seating for 64 with 10 computers and books on the shelves, will be enlarged to allow 157 to study here soon. When the second phase of the furnishings arrive, we need to pay the manufacturer the balance owed of $1,992. It is a tiny fraction of the investment to date. It is so close to being installed. A donation now will help with the final bill for the furniture. Please contact Jan Tanis to pay by check or go to http//:BwindiCommunityProgram.org and the "Other Donations" page will guide you through payment online. We will also add more computers over time. This is a dream-come-true for this rural school! Thank you!

Verde Valley Caregivers wishes to enrich your life. Here is an example from one of our volunteers:Hank Culbertson joined VVCC as a volunteer driver in June 2014. After reading an article in the paper about VVCC he decided that transporting “neighbors” was his calling. Hank enjoys getting to know the neighbors and hearing their life stories. He particularly likes the long trips and frequently travels from Verde Valley communities to Flagstaff. He’s taken neighbors as far as Phoenix. The work also gives him the opportunity to do something for somebody else. Hank says, “I want to drive for Caregivers as long as I can.”
VVCC needs more volunteer drivers and volunteers to make friendly visits and respite assistance. Volunteers decide when, where and how often they wish to volunteer. Visit https://vvcaregivers.org/volunteer-opportunities or call (928) 204-1238 to enrich your life and others, too.

The E-Library on the Bishop Comboni Secondary School campus in Uganda is operating. The furnishings in the second phase of construction, which will more than double the seating capacity, have been ordered from the manufacturer. They required 70% of the funds as a deposit. Hooray to all of you who have helped get us SO close. In six weeks, the school will be asked for $1,992 to pay for the balance of the order. The students will have an entire E-Library full of tables and chairs for their study time and computer research. Please help us in the final step. Any donation to BwindiCommunityProgram.org will be appreciated or contact Jan Tanis at 204-1135 to arrange a check donation to this wonderful project. The students are already smiling.
