Hello
friends!
May is gearing
up to be a very thrilling month here at Project:
Thrive and we are getting ready for quite an eventful summer as well! The
excitement is building and we hope you can be a part of some of the wonderful
activities we have coming up.
We have
three big Kindness Camps/Field Trips booked and we are in need of additional
volunteers who are interested in helping teach the children about compassion,
kindness, and responsible living through learning about and interacting with
the animals. The camps are currently scheduled for May 16, May 24, and June 2.
If you have some time to spare and would like to participate with any, or all,
of these wonderful days just let us know and we will get you set up. The
animals would love to see you too!

We feel so completely
honored to have been one of 6 nonprofits featured in the 2015 Annual Report of the Nonprofits Insurance Alliance Group. What
wonderful exposure for the work we are trying to do here at Project: Thrive! We hope you will take
a moment to read the article that we are so proud of. Have a look here: 2015 Annual
Report of the Nonprofits Insurance Alliance Group. Our story can be
found on page 16 of the report. Very exciting, indeed.
Our animal spotlight
this month is on our Bodhi Boy, pictured above. Consider this your moment of
Moo. We gave Bodhi a new toy recently and little did we know how much he would
love his new friend, the giant inflatable green ball. Bodhi will not part with
his ball and he pushes it around with his nose and gives it big kisses too. The
other day we watched as he was chasing it around in the high winds like a puppy
chasing a tennis ball. The other night we noticed he was in the pasture
standing over his ball trying to nudge it around and play. To his dismay and
bewilderment, it was half deflated and wasn’t budging. He kept looking up in an
attempt to get something done immediately about his deflated friend and
couldn’t understand why we didn’t jump to his attention after several pleading
moos. Well, it was late and after the chores of the barn and getting everyone
settled for the evening we just didn’t have time to help his green friend
before locking up and turning in for the evening. The next morning there Bodhi
was laying out in the field with his goat and sheep siblings and the big green,
now fully deflated, ball. He looked so sad that we couldn’t delay any longer. We
finally brought his green ball friend back to life and all was right in the
world of Bodhi once more.
Thank you all so very
much for all that you do to support our sweet sanctuary. We appreciate every
single effort and hope you will continue to spread the word so that we may
continue to grow and help even more children and animals through our combined
work.
With much gratitude,
Project: Thrive
