Peggy Adams Animal Rescue

A couple of weeks go I stopped by The Peggy Adams animal rescue in West Palm Beach, I wanted to take a couple of pictures of the dogs there for my blog.  It was a great afternoon, I was very happy to see the good living conditions of all pets in the facility, and delighted as well by the good attitude of all the volunteers that I came in contact with.

From a personal point of view, I believe that this organization is phenomenal. First, like many other shelters   they provide refuge to cats, dogs, puppies and kittens in need. Second, this non- profit organization work hard to find suitable homes to all this beautiful creatures. Third, this animal rescue does not practice euthanasia as a way to control over population.

 “Our Vision is to create a community where one hundred percent of the adoptable animals find loving homes,” establishes the organization at their website.

At this moment Adams does not receive founding from the County, State, or even The Government, and all the achievements reached up this point are thanks to the support of the private sector, foundations, finally corporations.
It would be a great thing to see governmental entities get involved with initiatives like the Peggy Adams, and keep alive the dreams of many organizations to protect, and provide care to neglected animals. 

Theatre Avante

Since 1979 the Teatro Avante in Miami has being allowing the public of different cultural backgrounds to learn about the Hispanic Cultural Heritage, and also promote the development of the Hispanic theatre in the Americas.


In order to achieve this, the group not just organizes and produces the international Hispanic Theatre Festival in Miami, but also performs in many other international festivals such as:  North and Central America, Europe, and Latin America.
 
The group has being able to capture the essence and experiences of the Hispanic culture, by relaying heavily in the work of some of the most prominent Spanish writers such as: The Spanish Poet, dramatist, and theatre director Federico Garcia Lorca, also the Spanish dramatist and novelist Ramon Del Valle- Inclan, And Finally the Dramaturge, actor and director Jose Ignacio Cabrujas.

The Theatre Avante has received several national and international awards because of its enormous contribution to the arts in general. This year, one of its most important contributions will be the sixth International Hispanic Festival (IHTF) of Miami. From the 7 to the 24 of July, the event will be presenting some of the best Theatre companies from around the world, in various locations in Miami and Key Biscayne.
