All-Ukrainian Flashmob “The Life-Saving Bowl” (2025)

Announcement

In the scorching summer heat, when asphalt melts underfoot and the air burns, we all desperately need a sip of fresh water. But nearby are those who can’t ask for help or provide themselves with even a drop of water. Stray dogs and cats are forced to search daily for a life-giving source of water in the dust and heat. Just one bowl of water can save a precious, fluffy life.

We invite teachers and children to join the traditional All-Ukrainian flashmob “The Life-Saving Bowl”, which will be held for the third time in educational institutions across the country, and help remind Ukrainians of how important it is to support our four-legged friends during the hot summer days.

Among all flashmob participants who complete the registration form, we will raffle: 20 sets of the “Pets” puzzle and 20 sets of the “Quick Paws” card game (each set includes 3 games). The prizes are provided by our Foundation and our partner, Purina.

Steps to Participate in the Flashmob:

1. Tell children about the importance of helping stray animals and their daily need for water, especially during hot weather. Remind the kids that they should only approach stray animals with adult supervision. Also, share some key rules for interacting with animals:

- Never leave a pet in a closed car in hot weather (even with a slightly open window);

- Never tie or leave a pet under direct sunlight without shade;

- Always make sure cats and dogs have clean, fresh water;

- Bring a bowl and a bottle of water when walking your dog, so your pet can drink while outside.

2. Take a photo featuring: - a bowl of water; - chalk-drawn silhouettes of animals on both sides of the bowl; - children’s hands placed around the bowl
