The Dogboxproject.com initiative launched their project for the 3rd consecutive year. In 67 minutes 67 doghouses had to be painted by 67 teams. After the doghouses were decorated they would be donated to the welfare organisation of the teams’ choice.
MHI immediately entered 10 teams as their contribution towards celebrating former President Nelson Mandela’s legacy on Saturday 19 July 2014.
There was an air of excitement as the decoration of the doghouses were discussed and planned. Our friends at Ultra Pro Waterproofing heard about our endeavour and promptly offered a donation of paint, brushes and paint rollers. Each doghouse would also receive a blanket and a bag of dog food.
On Saturday morning one and all arrived, and after all the measuring and fitting was done we commenced with the big effort at 10:00!
Everyone joined in – families, couples, siblings and even grandpa!
This was truly a team effort!
The real winners, however, were the animals of Blikkiesdorp in Delft. MHI donated their 10 doghouses and our friends at Rovic Leers added their contribution of 5 to Clarina Hanekom’s Tin Can Town initiative which aims at improving the lives of Blikkiesdorp’s animals.
The first doghouses have already been delivered and there was not one dog without an extra wag in its tail!
