HeroRATs for the Holidays!

By Hannah Ford | Communications Manager

Happy holidays!
Happy holidays!

Looking for a unique and inspiring alternative gift this holiday season?   

A contribution to our HeroRATs project on GlobalGiving will support us greatly in our efforts to save lives and limbs by sniffing out more landmines and tuberculosis in communities in need.

Make your contribution in honor of someone special, send them a GlobalGiving gift card, and see their face light up when they realize that together, you've helped provide banana treats for one of our life-saving, bomb-sniffing heroes in Mozambique, or tuberculosis screening for villagers in Tanzania.

Alternatively, you could surprise your friends or family with a HeroRAT adoption! 

Here are three good reasons to adopt one of our heroes:

1.  It’s a fun, creative and unique gift, that has a lasting impact.

2.  Your lucky gift recipient will receive a certificate of adoption, an introductory letter from the chosen HeroRAT, and regular updates on their rat's progress!

3.  It's only 5 euros a month (roughly $7) - a small amount that will be a big help to us in our efforts to sniff out more landmines and curb the spread of tuberculosis.

Contributions we receive for the Adopt-a-Rat program go towards the training, vet check-ups, housing, food and loving-care our HeroRATs receive.  For more information on giving the gift of a HeroRAT, please visit the Adopt-a-rat page of our website, or click here to adopt a HeroRAT now.

Thank you for your wonderful support, and warmest wishes for peace and happiness this holiday season!
