ADRA Baby Owl Geocoin - 07

I WANT TO GO HOME TO NORWAY! WHEN ALL OWLS ARE HOME THEY WILL BE DONATE TO AN AUCTION TO BRING MONEY TO ADRA.

This is an owl which, together with 12 other owls (Named ADRA Baby Owl Geocoin - 01-13), would like to travel as far as possible. We are two families who are competing with each other about how far these owls can travel, and how many countries they can enter. When the travel is over, the owls will be auctioned off, and the money will be donated to ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency - a humanitarian organization). The auction will take place at the Vatneli school in Sandnes, Norway. Vatneli school is a private primary school with about 60 pupils, with humanitarian work as part of its curriculum. One of their activities is that three afternoons every year the pupils go door-to-door to collect donations to ADRA's projects. In 2016 they collected 130,000 Norwegian kroner (€ 14,500). They also have an evening every year, with activities and sale of food, where they normally raise 30-40,000 NOK (€ 3,350-4,450). The past few years these money have been spent on the ADRA project "Keep Girls Safe" in Northern Thailand. The purpose of the project is to prevent modern-day slavery and human trafficking in Northern Thailand. ADRA's protection homes give girls care, love and education.

We hope you will help pass this Geocoin on in its travels. Please place it as soon as possible in another Geocache, so that the owl will reach home as soon as posible.
