Animal lovers will be able to hug a hound to raise funds for Animal Anti-Cruelty, while a flash mob stages a silent protest for those who cannot speak for themselves at The Boardwalk on Saturday, August 24.
\nAround 40 drama students will be representing caged animals, chained animals, animals forced to fight, animals injured through fireworks, rhino-poaching and wild animals in circuses during the protest in the form of a post-modern Flash Mob, which is the brainchild of IEB subject drama learner Robyn Palmer.
\nSpectators will be asked to release the animals from their chains.
\nIt will be filmed to make a DVD for Robyn to show as part of her skills assessment.
\nShe has been studying with the Rother Swain Drama Studio for many years and is currently in matric.
\nTogether with her prac teacher, Linda-Louise Swain, who is actively involved with the Animal Anti-Cruelty League, she decided to highlight the plight of animals, both domestic and wild through her project.
\nThe Boardwalk has taken up on the challenge of hosting 40 drama learners from the Rother Swain Drama Studio and Pearson High School.
\nThere will be a Hug-a-Hound donation area as well as an animal food donation area.
\nThis food will be distributed to animals in the most indigent settlements in the Northern Areas.
\nA colouring-in competition for children will form part of the activities, with the young artists being helped by the \u201chuman dogs\u201d who cannot speak for themselves.
\nFlyers will also be distributed.
\n\u201cDo pop down to The Boardwalk on Saturday 24 from 12 to 2p.m. and let your children and yourselves be part of this unique experience, where awareness and thought create future leaders with compassion and drive to truly make a difference,\u201d says Swain.<\/p>\n
