The Association
for
the
Support of North African Sloughis
was
created September 15 of 2008.
As its purpose
states,
ASNAS is a not for profit group which organizes fundraisers to buy
veterinary
products needed by Sloughis
traditionally
bred
in North Africa. It thus works for the very preservation of the
Sloughis
in North Africa.
Before being
launched,
each fundraiser project is clearly defined and tailored to the needs of
a very specific group of traditional breeders.
The countries
covered
are Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya.
The first
project associated
with ASNAS was the lovely auction organized by the Sloughi Fanciers
Association
of America ( SFAA )
for its
Partner Club
El Wafae in Morocco. It was the SFAA's special event to celebrate its
20th
anniversary.
Several
members of
SFAA donated their time, their very interesting and beautiful items for
the auction and many worldwide
bid generously
on
them.
Friends of
Sloughi
owners contributed also with very generous donations in addition to the
auction.
This
fundraiser was
a resounding success raising a very substantial amount of funds.
To separate
the accounts
of SFAA from the funds for El Wafae, ASNAS was created.
Thus
materialized
an idea that several of ASNAS board members had thought of after
visiting
the countries of Tunisia and Morocco,
in which some
of the
traditional breeders have difficulties accessing veterinary products.
ASNAS is a
partner
Club of the Sloughi Fanciers
Association
of America.
