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.
The funds
raised by
this 20th anniversary SFAA auction were exclusively used to
provide the Sloughis of the region of
Gharb
Cherarda
Beni
Hsen
in
Morocco
with
wormers,
tick
and
flea
treatments,
collars
and
leashes,
and other needed products.
The
partnership of
El Wafae with SFAA itself followed the visit of SFAA's member Dr.
Dominique
de Caprona to the region to meet
with the
members of
el Wafae in May of 2008. She was received by great generosity and had
brought
with her the first donations
of SFAA's
board members.
These generous donations enabled the vaccinations against canine
diseases
of all the El Wafae Sloughis,
the worming of
puppies
and adults, the treatments of infections with antibiotics and against
ticks
and fleas.
Collars were
also
given to the Sloughis as well as monetary contributions to el Wafae's
activities.
In 2009
ASNAS provided
more collars, leashes, wormers and treatments against ticks and fleas
to
the el Wafae Sloughis.
In 2010,
following
the repeated floods which ruined the local fields of grains, ASNAS
provided
help to buy dog food for the Sloughis in that region.
May 2008, end of 2010 and early 2011 ASNAS provided 150
vaccinations
against Rabies and Canine diseases.
August 2011, ASNAS provides wormers and antibiotics to the
Sloughis of the region.
