Maribel Orellana, from Weslaco Animal Care Services, introduces the "Promoting Animal Welfare in Schools" program during an interview. The program aims to teach children about responsibility and caring for pets. It involves interactive activities and educational books, featuring a lovable dog named Edward, who teaches children about love and acceptance. The program also covers topics like fleas, ticks, and the importance of spaying/neutering pets. The initial exhibition received a positive response from children, who understood the importance of proper pet care. Starting from a young age, this program benefits children by fostering responsibility, empathy, and community involvement.
