Expat Explorer | Pawspective, Xmas dinner ... upcoming SZ events

Pawspective

"Pawspective: Unleashing Hope" aims to challenge perceptions of shelter dogs and promote their beauty as lifelong companions. 

This bilingual event, organized by community enthusiast David Bilicky, is the first of its kind in Shenzhen. It will encompass a series of activities, including a photo exhibition featuring 30 heartwarming photos of shelter dogs captured by Chinese and expat photographers, an animal art corner, photography workshops, educational lectures, and a silent auction of the showcased photos. On-site stands offering cotton candy, alcoholic beverages, and face painting will provide visitors with extra fun.

All proceeds of the silent auction, all revenue of the cotton candy stand and 10% of the sales of the alcohol stand will benefit local animal rescue Karuna Rescue.
