HELLO FROM STORY WEAVER
Hello! I’m Patricia Schonstein, the Story Weaver at the Global Empathy Project.
I write poems and stories for children which inspire them to care for animals and the Earth.

We have a feisty, canine Ambassador of Kindness called PHOEBE.
As a puppy, she survived cruel, treatment meted out by children.
They were poorly educated little people, instructed by their father towards cruelty rather than care.

One could say: ‘They knew no better’.

It is our mission to teach children to know better.
“Better be kind.
Better be caring.
Better be respectful of the other creatures of the Earth.”

This photo is of me in Namibia where I was listening to cicadas singing and watching a lizard basking on a rock.

From animal rescue and trauma care to youth empowerment and food security, every brick is laid with compassion.

In England, one woman quietly changed the lives of hundreds, four legs at a time. Camberley Kate, seen here in 1962, devoted her life to rescuing stray dogs, ultimately caring for more than 600. Her legacy is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the impact of one determined soul. 💖

Our rescue centre aims to treat animals rescued from this cruel trade both medically and emotionally, to educate the public, and to rehome animals into loving environments.
