Even freezing winter temperatures of 0 degrees did not stop the little acitivists with their sales booth

Anna, Finja, Iara and Kyran were among the youngest visitors of the Animalma anniversary in October 2022.

The four young animal rights activists were so inspired after the event that they started crafting the very next day and sold their creations in their neighbourhood.

Their handmade items – from bracelets to notebooks to plush bananas – were very well received and so they were able to collect an amount of CHF 300 in donations, which they handed over to me personally shortly before my trip to Bolivia.

With the proceeds, I was able to buy milk powder, vitamin supplements and nappies for the primate babies of Senda Verde, which the orphans urgently need and represent a major cost for the refuge.

And the Senda Verde staff were very touched when I told them the story behind this very special donation.

Thank you so much dear Anna, Finja, Iara and Kyran for your wonderful, inspiring commitment to help wildlife in Bolivia!

I want to help animals too

All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.

Animalma was founded on the 22nd of October 2014 – so high time to finally celebrate our annivesary. A huge part of the Animalma family found their way to the youth club in Effretikon on the 29th of October 2022 for the birthday bash.

We’ve cheered at the bar, tasted delicious Bolivian and international meals, shopped for a good cause at the sales booth and throughout the location one could discover big and small milestones of our associations’ history.

The “party room” was packed when Sarah held her presentation. She took the 50 people – longtime and new donors, friends & family, animal welfare buddies, Bolivians and Swiss all mixed up – on a journey. A very personal journey of all the people, who have been part of her way, who have inspired and strengthened her.
As a highlight, Sarah sang her new song “From the woods” – a call for humanity to protect the forest of this world – for the very first time publicly.

It was an amazing evening filled with inspiring and touching conversations and encounters. And it turned into just another milestone in the history of Animalma. The buffet, bar, sales booth and donation box & online presence all added up to a staggering amount of CHF 3’000.- in donations. They will be used one third each for Senda Verde, nature conservation effort in Bolivia and the growth of Animalma as an association. THANK YOU all so much!

A very special THANKS goes to

Ximena for her handicraft efforts and managing the sales booth
Andrea, Chanti, Rahel, Je und Mirj for helping with the setup, behind the bar and taking care of the dog
Fany and Alba for the Bolivian dishes
& of course everyone else cooking and baking in for the buffet

We at Animalma are filled with joy, pride and love looking back to this event and therefore finish this article with a gallery filled with the most beautiful moments of our anniversary.
