Thanks to you… Puebla project inspires pupils to protect animals More than 4,200 Mexican children are learning how to protect and care for animals during their normal school day thanks to an education project you have made possible. The children, aged five to 18 years old, attend the Centro Escolar Gregorio de Gante school (CEGG) in Puebla State. They are part of a pilot project we are running with their teachers and Puebla’s ministry of education. Since August, last year, our education team has been training the school’s 183 teachers to use our primary and secondary school programme – First Concepts in Animal Welfare (FCAW). FCAW shows how animal welfare can be taught in all subjects and the benefits that caring for all living things can bring to pupils and their communities.
