Choose an item from the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind’s wish list, give whatever you can, and in return, receive a certificate of thanks. Each item listed on the wish list is crucial to the health and training of these guide dogs-in-training, and consequently, affects their upcoming service to their visually impaired handlers. Let’s collectively make a difference one donation at a time and fulfill the guide dogs’ wishes.
As the festive season rolls in with its spirit of kindness and generosity, the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind (SAGA) offers a splendid chance for everyone to make a meaningful contribution. This year, SAGA, well-reputed for their service to people with visual impairments, has crafted a delightful plea through a Christmas carol. This adaptation of the well-known holiday song, “The Twelve Days of Christmas”, performs dual duty – it cultivates seasonal merriment while drawing attention to the needs of their hardworking, prospective guide dogs.
These dogs, groomed for a lifetime of service to visually impaired individuals, have demonstrated excellent behavior, patiently waiting their turn to make it to Santa Paws’ roster of good puppies. SAGA has decided upon a captivating and amusing method to communicate the necessities of these dogs, by way of a touching music video narrating their Christmas desires.
“The Twelve Days of Christmas”, as rendered by SAGA, offers a comprehensive inventory of the needs of these guide dogs-in-training, covering an array of items. The list ranges from puppy school bags, to training apparatus, to entertaining toys necessary for playtime, with each request being as distinctive as the dogs themselves.
However, these are not insignificant or trivial requests. Each item listed in this wish list is crucial to the health and training of these dogs, and consequently, affects their upcoming service to their visually impaired handlers. Jackie Quail, the regional marketing manager at SAGA, aptly states, “the association amasses the required funds to continuously bring about positive changes in the lives of individuals with disabilities all over South Africa.”
SAGA warmly welcomes everyone to partake in this communal cause, an opportunity to contribute to something larger, something that transforms lives. Choose an item from the wish list, give whatever you can, and in return, receive a certificate of thanks. This certificate not just acts as an expression of appreciation, but also makes for a thoughtful and significant gift this festive season. Additionally, the certificate can be customised for those who wish to gift this donation, making it a unique and unforgettable present.
SAGA’s original spin on the “Twelve Days of Christmas” is indeed an invitation to embody the holiday spirit. As the song unfolds, the needs become more specific and crucial. The appeal for long canes – a vital tool for the visually impaired, accentuates the earnestness of this campaign. In similar fashion, the request for donations for veterinary examinations underscores the necessity of maintaining the health of these service dogs.
As we advance towards 2024, the benevolence extended towards SAGA’s appeal could render it an extraordinary year for both the association and the people they assist. These offerings will not just furnish the essential resources for the dogs’ training and welfare, but will also indirectly facilitate enhancements in the lives of visually impaired individuals.
Thus, this year, let the spirit of Christmas guide you towards this noble cause. Let’s collectively make a difference, one donation at a time, fulfilling the guide dogs’ wishes and, in return, receiving the gift of knowing that we’ve brought about a substantial change in the lives of those who need it most. Witness the video, spread the joy, and contribute towards SAGA’s Christmas wish list.
