Who are they?

A Field Aid is a Fenua Animalia correspondent trying to solve problems for a given area (there is no, of course, exclusive).

He/She is, in general, anonymous for the medias. His/her coordinates are known only by the coordination centre, the 423, which calls him/her when a case, or, vice versa, which is warned by him/her about facts needing an intervention from us.

Fields Aids are the heart of the Association (in all senses of the term), they are at the centre of the other members attention.

The job

Cases to solve may go from simple facts checkings to emergency helps.
Fields Aids are the ones in contact with Pets in distress, desesperated peoples, etc.

As you can see, it is a job which places itself pre- and post- firemen, police and veterinarians ones.

To do this job, it is needed:

• a minimum of heart,
• some free time,
• a phone,
• a good determination to change things,
• to be practical with common sense,
• some basic knowledge, and a little equipment to:
  • catch a wounded Pet,
  • approach a frightened, abandonned, loosen Pet,
  • give First Aids to a Pet,
  • feed a Pet,
  • hold-carry a Pet safely for both,
  • speak with owners, people around.
• be cold-blooded,
• be good-natured,
• and respect and command respect to collective decisions (legals and internals).

So, the needed competences are accessible to nearly everyone.

The most "comfortable" is to work in teams of two or three (sharing out the tasks), but it is not often possible.

How?

If you feel motivated to give a little, but seriously, from time to time, then contact-us: The association needs Field Aids, this network needs to be reinforced.

To participate, call the association switchboard, at 423 423, which will take your name, phone, etc, and probably will ask to meet you, and drive you at start.
