Hugo's Tail Squad is on mission to make our world a better place for children AND for animals!
A wise man once said "education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world" (cfr. Nelson Mandela), meaning education is the key to change wrong into right, injustice into justice, exclusion into integration, ...
Amico vzw wants to see the world through those eyes and embarks to set up or to support projects and activities that enhance the welfare of both humans and animals.
The first initiative supported by Amico vzw is giving shape to the projects of Hugo's Tail Squad, the alter egos of the one and only real happy tails Hugo, Perla, Angel, Horus and Elda. All five were rescued by Takis Shelter Non Profit Organization, but you can still see their physical and mental scars caused by the harsh streetlife. Despite everything they went through, their tail wags all the time. In July 2019 they got adopted and moved to Belgium. Their mission is to help children who struggle with difficulties in life and now they want to share their adventures.
Mai 2021 a sixth member joined the squad. His name is Petit Bertrand and when he has completed the Tail Academy, he will join the others on their missions.
The first misson of our happy tails is to bring you booklets for children between the age of 4 and 8, containing their stories to induce and support dialogue about feelings. The adventures of the squad invite children to talk about thoughts, feelings and behavior.
The first booklet will be the story of Angel, the blind cat. Her story will take childen on a journey from being scared to be able to talk about it.
Did you know this book is available in several languages? Some of our followers offered their help for the translations. It's heartwarming to know lots of people are willing to work together to make the world a better place.
With the profit of the purchases in our webshop, Amico vzw (Belgian Non-Profit Organization) will donate this book to schools and pediatric hospitals.
