One of the sights that most tugs on the heartstrings of any visitor to Didim is the huge number of street animals, cats and dogs without owners, that rely on the kindness of people for their survival, writes Laura Bower.
CoDA, Care of Didim Animals, is a 10-year-old organisation set up to feed and care for as many of these creatures as they can reach.
CoDA is a group of volunteers that work with the council-run dog shelter, supporting the council’s three vets and raising funds and donating time and effort to walking sheltered dogs, bringing animals in for neutering, and the never-ending cleanup operation involved in maintaining a hygienic environment at the shelter.
A recent fundraising fair was a great success. Attended by Didim Mayor Hatice Gencay, it earned a whopping 200,000 TL including internet donations.
This was followed up on Sunday (Nov 23) when 80,000 TL was raised at CoDA’s Christmas Fair at Sunshine Bar on Altınkum beachfront.
