NANAS
the animal sanctuary
originated as NOAH'S ARK LODGE Private Animal Shelter in Singapore in
1995.
It
all began when Raymund Wee chanced upon the opportunity to set up an animal
shelter in Jalan Kayu, Seletar. Fueled by his fight for the strays, Raymund
sold off his shophouse and with the S$1.5 million dollars, transformed
NOAH'S ARK into one of the foremost private animal shelters in Singapore.
Raymund
poured body and soul into his work for the strays and continued dog grooming
to rake in extra funds to support the animals. Coupled with this, he had
also to see to the day-to-day running of the animal farm and tended to
the animals when they fell ill.
With the help of his many volunteers and supporters, he steered NOAH'S
ARK into becoming one of the top private animal shelters in Singapore
and a favourite Sunday venue to which Singaporean families flocked. For
the young, NOAH'S ARK became their Sunday classroom, where excited children
learned animal bonding.... and much more than this, they learned compassion.
