My Nomination for an Award


I am happy to let you know that I have been nominated by the Manager of Humane Education at the NHSPCA, for the Kohl's Care Scholarship award. Each year, Kohl's recognizes and rewards young volunteers (6-18) across the country for their amazing contributions to their communities.  

I feel very honored to have been nominated for the award and thank Mrs. Parisi VERY much!  I found out that in her almost 12 years of working at the NHSPCA, I am only the third child she has ever nominated and that makes me feel like what I am doing really matters to people.

I really hope I get the award!  The work I have done for the Horse Slaughter Prevention Act has been a really great and fun experience.  I hope horse slaughter stops forever!

I cannot wait until the Press Conference in Washington DC, where I will be speaking to let our legislators know how I feel about horse slaughter and why I am working so hard to make it stop and be banned for good.

Here is a picture I made called "The Battle for the Horses!"  All the destroyed things belong to the people who want to slaughter horses.  ~Declan
