PAKO conducts awareness sessions on animal rights for children in Sulaymaniyah

PAKO – Protecting Animals in Kurdistan Organization, located in Sulaymaniyah, conducted awareness sessions in kindergartens and schools, themed “Pets Gives Children Positive Values”.

The Organization pointed out that the aim of visiting kindergartens and schools is to raise awareness among children about the animals’ rights to life, in addition to taking care of pets.

Taking care of animals has an impact on introverted and shy children. It gives the children an opportunity to initiate a conversation with others, teaches them not to abuse others, and generates empathy towards others.
