MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY FOR THE DISABLED AND THE ELDERLY SOON

PETPOSITIVE NEWSBRIEFS:

DATELINE: KUALA LUMPUR.

The Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and Elderly Association (PETPOSITIVE) successfully completed our third Committee Meeting yesterday afternoon.

The three-hour event confirmed that PETPOSITIVE will be having more opportunities for disabled and elderly Malaysians to expose themselves to animal and nature-assisted therapy at the Botanical Gardens in Kepong, Selangor.

"Instead of holding animal-assisted therapy sessions for larger groups at a time,
PETPOSITIVE will have much smaller groups participating in activities from now on," said Lynda Merican, who is Volunteer Special Projects Coordinator for PETPOSITIVE.

"The exercises which will be held once a month will provide more quality time for disabled and elderly Malaysians to be able to interact with pets and nature." She added.

The small group sessions are scheduled to start after PET+ holds a special AAT session for Deaf children soon.

If you are disabled or elderly and wish to take part in our AAT sessions, please contact aNt at 012 220 3146.

Meanwhile, PETPOSITIVE has a new face - Shenaaz Khan - who simply adores cats. Khan was appointed as Assistant Secretary of PETPOSITIVE also at yesterday's meeting.

She replaces Dr Kathiravan Sethu, a veterinary surgeon who was formerly at the Hartamas Veterinary Clinic in Sri Hartamas.

Welcome to PETPOSITIVE, Shenaaz!
