The Fund For Animals Inc.
Virginia Handley, former San Francisco Director
"Your organization, AHAN, has accomplished much in educating all communities, but especially Asian ones, as to the necessity of respect for nature and compassion toward animals. AHAN’s belief that the fate of animals, nature and humankind is inextricably woven together is one that is shared by the California office of the Fund for Animals. It is our hope that AHAN will continue to play its vital role in years to come."

Individuals

Peter (and Francis and Scout and Jackie)
"I was so moved by the chronicles of the souls you have saved (and yes I think, like you, that there is a soul in every living creature) that I felt compelled to write to you. Jackie and my fostering and subsequent search for Rocky #1 stirred a love for all of this world's creatures. We are bound together. And Jackie and Scout and Peter and Francis are proof positive. Jackie and Scout are flourishing in St. Loius and Francis is a great supervisor, on many SF job sites. Thank you for these gifts."

Dai
"I really appreciate your kindness, I could learn a lot of things, not only English, but also I learned about volunteer and environment. Most of my friends said I changed a lot…I agree…I think it’s all because I could meet good people like you and absorb your knowledge and way of thinking…Thank you ver much for everything…Take care! And please say hello to cats."
