Children have a brilliant mind and they often become the ultimate protagonists.
They have a soft heart and their kindness always touches our hearts. The story below proves it right. At the Zacatecas Educational Institute elementary school in Mexico, 35 children built shelters for stray dogs using the recycled materials they had at home. Their amazing talent went viral on social networks, and everyone wants to know where the idea came from.

Near the end of the school session, 5th children devised a project with purpose in an attempt to generate some impact on society.point 217 |
Guided by their teacher, the students highlighted the problem of the streets of their city: homeless dogs.point 90 | This is why the children decided to build doghouses that could serve as safe shelters against the cold or rain for abandoned animals.point 201 |

The project also had another purpose: students build houses with materials that they had in their homes, to promote a culture of recycling.point 227 |
So the children used things like chopped wood, old sheets, plastic bottles, cardboard, cloth, etc.point 84 | Best of all, they used all their imagination to color and decorate the doghouses, and thus providing cozy homes to street animals.point 193 | point 193 | 1
Students did their projects with a clear purpose. So once they presented the doghouses made of recycled materials, they donated them to the “Albergues Lazos Casinos” shelter, which is a non-profit association that is responsible for rescuing and rehoming stray animals in Zacatecas, Guadalupe, Enrique Estrada, and Calera, Mexico.
The abandonment of animals has become a public problem in Mexico. According to the company Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, 70% of the canine population in Mexico are strays. This is an alarming figure, as it involves many environmental complications.
There are more and more people and organizations dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitation, and the responsible adoption of abandoned dogs. Rescuers do altruistic work to promote the awareness of responsible pet ownership. Their recommendations are:
-Adopt, don’t shop.
-Don’t breed your pet (you can always adopt another dog), and spay or neuter it in time.
-A pet is a living being: needs the time, dedication, habits, financial situation, and availability you have before taking on such a serious responsibility.
