Hey everyone!!

I just wanted to let you know about 3 awesome events that are taking place this week!

The first one is tomorrow 19th May, it is being held in the Common Room at the UoM, hosted by GetUpStandUp! It is basically a talk by Andrew Galea Debono from the United Nations High Commissions for Refugees (UNHCR) regarding the migrant situation in Malta!

Here's the link to that event:

Next is the eWaste Recycling event I messaged you about a couple of days ago! It is going to be held on Friday 21st May at the San Andrea School in Mgarr from 11am!

Check that out here:

And last but certainly not least, THAT'S RUBBISH are having yet another clean up, but this time it's going to be held at the beautiful area of Buskett! It is on Sunday 23rd May at 11am! And best of all, after the clean up there'll be a picnic!! ^^

Hello all!!

I would like to draw your attention to an event coming up this Friday (21st May).

San Andrea School, a co-educational school run by the Parents' Foundation for Education, in collaboration with Datax Computer Centre, Electro Waste Malta and Electronics Recycling Malta Ltd (ERM Ltd) would like to invite "Be The Change" to an eWaste Recycling Event.

We would appreciate your presence for this event as we firmly believe that our students, parents and teachers are setting an example on how to deal with eWaste for a better world and participate in what UN's General Secretary Ban Ki-moon (April 28, 2010) referred to as
a "clean energy revolution".

You are encouraged to bring old mobile phones to be recycled at the event which will be at the San Andrea School itself in Mgarr. The event begins at 11am! I hope that you can all make it!

Remember this is one other way you can help the planet we all live on, and we all know that not many people know what to do with this kind of waste, so this is an opportunity for everyone to help the environment be recycling their eWaste properly!!

Peace and Love!

Dear all!

Merry Christmas to you all and I wish you a Happy new year full of happiness, love and success!!

Spare a thought for all those people out there who are in worse conditions, with no food, or clean water, no family to love them, no presents to open, those people who are extremely ill and might not live to see another day ... we are all so blessed and lucky to have our families, our friends, our health and our jobs and education that we don't need more than that really. Christmas should be a time to think especially about all the people who are less fortunate than us, that they may find peace and happiness in the little that they have.

Also I'd like to remind you all of the Beach Clean up at Ghajn Tuffieha on Sunday (27th) at 2pm!! Hope to see you all there!! Have a great day all =)

Peace and Love!!

Message from the spokesperson for the Circus Animal Rights Coalition
_______________________________________________________

The symbolic protest walk is going to be held on the first day of the circus show on the 10th of December. We will be meeting at 6.00pm City Gate Valletta and walk to Blata l-Bajda in front of the circus.

A sort of alternative circus is envisaged to be held, so if you know of anyone who would be interested to participate through acting, juggling etc, please let us know. Some people are also going to be wearing animal costumes, so if you have a costume and want to join, it will have greater impact!

Between the 1st and 10th December, we will be holding awareness activities in Valletta, between 5.00 and 7.00pm to distribute flyers to the public. If anyone of you can make it on any particular date, please let us know.

This walk will be announced on Tuesday 1st December at a Coalition press conference at 5pm during which we will also present the petitions. Please keep signing! http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/animalslavery/

Please rsvp to the event here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=186107088411&ref=mf

thanks!

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all doing well

I just wanted to let you know that I am trying to get Be the Change involved with Greenhouse Malta. We are thinking of clearing out and 'doing up' L-Ahrax tal-Mellieha. It is a beautiful place and it deserves to look a lot better! If anyone has any feedback or ideas that we could discuss and maybe implement regarding this do let me know! Please note that this has NOT BEEN CONFIRMED yet!

Also I urge you to take a look at the THAT'S RUBBISH website and see their new blog about the last clean up that took place. There was the greatest turn out there ever was to date! Congratulations to them!

www.thatsrubbishmalta.com

I'm also pleased to announce that the carboot sale / lunch BBQ at the Funny Farm went very well too! If I am not mistaken they should be holding a bonfire night in the near future, so look out for that.

I would also like to bring to your attention something that was in the news today; the animal circus coming to Malta in December. I encourage you all to take a look at this group:

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=152447782391&ref=ts

The Circus Animal Rights Coalition are trying to stop this circus from coming over. Read up and make your own decision. They also have a petition that needs to be signed to ban the circus from coming here.

"Animals including tigers, a yak, crocodiles, horses and ponies, lama, snakes, an ostrich, sheep dwarves, ian guana, anaconda and zebra will feature in a circus which will come to Malta over the Christmas holidays."

Do you really think that animals like these should be in a circus? Trained, whipped and kept in cages to entertain us? It's all up to you.

Peace and Love

Hey guys!

Hope you're doing okay!

I'd like to apologise for the lack of activities these past few weeks. However, I would like to inform you all about a couple of things that are going on right now.

Birdlife Malta have been kicking hunter ***! Volunteers of Raptor Camp have been doing a superb job at stopping illegal hunting activities! Go on the event page and their website to hear about the latest news in that regard.

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=104604401895&ref=ts

On another note, an Animal Circus is coming to Malta in a few months. We all know the torture that animals endure preparing for such an event. No animal should be put through such pain and suffering simply to entertain people.

Join this group and sign the petition if you agree that the Animal Circus should be banned from the country. Show your support! Spread the word, educate yourselves on Animal Circuses and do not condone the using of animals for human entertainment!

Hi Guys,

A friend of mine, Giliane Fenech is helping to organise a proper clean up team on the 12th and 13th of Sept. We will be heading to Bormla and helping in an overall cleanup of certain areas within the little town.

It will be a nice little weekend out so if you'd like to join in, don't come alone, bring your friends and their friends and have a grand spanking time while doing some good for the little community.

Details;

12th and 13th Sept.

Meeting in front of Bormla Church at 7.30 am

All tools and equipment will be provided, so just bring some water/snacks. We can all go for breaks at the local bars to have a bevy or two as well.

If you can make it on Sat 12th please contact me. If you can only make it on Sun 13th please contact Giliane as I will not be able to attend that day.

Contact Details;

Mark Gladwish - gladwish.mark@gmail.com or on Facebook.

Hope to hear from you soon my friends!

Yesterday's dog walk went very well as usual. We had 3 new faces and 4 old ones. (No, it wasn't a very big group). We have not been getting as many volunteers up as we used to, so I urge everyone to please spread the word and devote a little of your time during the weekend to these needy animals.

Next week the dog walk will be held on Saturday (5th), yet again because it is more convenient for the Arnett family, and also because in the evening there will be a Fundraiser BBQ. So all the volunteers attending the dog walk can choose to stay over for the BBQ.

Here is the link to the BBQ event:

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/event.php?eid=122393403594&ref=ts

It will start at 7.30, so the Dog walk will start at 5pm to be in time for the BBQ preparations.

Spread the word of the group, the dog walks and the fundraiser BBQ! Hope you can make it!

Peace and Love

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all doing well.

I would first like to start off by apologising for not holding a dog walk last weekend. I was very busy moving house and so I decided to leave it for that week. That being said, there is going to be a dog walk this Saturday (29th). Here is the link to the event page:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=133943488254

Also, I have written an article on a publication website which hopes to turn into an actual magazine distributed at the University of Malta. Here is the link to the article:

Show your support!

Hope to see you all on Saturday!

Peace and Love

Hello everyone!

I've been working on the website again. And a new logo! The website is still being done, with the help of David Gladwish (Thanks Dave!). However, the logo, so far, is finished!

Check it out on my Wall Photos and leave a comment there, or simply comment on this blog and let me know what you think. So far I've got a lot of good feedback! Keep it coming people! This is your group too!

Peace and Love

Aloha!

The dog walk today went well! There was a slight delay towards the beginning but that didn't stop anyone.

Lots of new faces! I hope the group will keep growing and growing! The more awareness the better.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to wash the dogs because they had recently been treated with Frontline. So we can focus more on that next week. But it was a very good day on the whole!

Please leave your feedback on the group page or website. If anybody has some comments they'd like to make, message me personally or leave a comment on the group page. Also, if you have not voted on the poll on the website, please do so.

Peace and Love!
