Visit Letter to Shelters

Hello, we are a group of five students from Kang Chiao International School, Linkou Campus, currently in 7th and 8th grades. We are participating in the CyberFair project competition, and our topic is about stray dogs.

CyberFair is an international event where students build a website focusing on a specific theme. For our project, we chose the topic of stray dogs, since we all love animals, and are curious about how they live, but most importantly, we care deeply for them.

As part of our research, we would like to interview you to better understand your profession, career, and your experiences with stray dogs. Your insight will greatly help us learn more about this theme and share it with the others through our project website.
