EDUCATION and COMMUNITY OUTREACH: In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have successfully resumed our expansive education programs and community outreach events with increased frequency. Our focus has been directed towards four key cities in China: Yulin City, Mudanjiang City, Dandong City, and Guangzhou. Introducing a new and highly acclaimed program, "Upfront and Close with Dogs and Cats Experience," has proven to be both popular and successful. This initiative was strategically implemented in collaboration with numerous prominent shopping centers across these cities. Taking advantage of the post-COVID high vacancy rates, we secured cost-effective venue rentals. These events have significantly broadened our outreach, allowing us to connect with a larger audience, including those who may have never had the opportunity to interact with dogs and cats before. The positive response from these initiatives underscores our commitment to fostering community engagement and education, even in challenging times. - Estimated allocation: 50% of $392,192 ($196096) 1- annual venue rentals ($128,000) 2- remodeling ($34,000) 3- marketing and advertising ($16,000) 3- operations ($12,500) 4 - teaching materials and event gifts ($5,600)
