Do you love animals? The Hawaiian Humane Society presents “Tails of Kindness”, an engaging and interactive presentation designed to teach children the importance of showing kindness and compassion to all animals. Through fun discussions and activities, students learn how their actions impact the well-being of animals, fostering empathy and responsible behavior. The session concludes with a book reading where students identify and discuss acts of kindness versus unkindness toward animals, reinforcing their learning in a relatable and meaningful way.

This program is recommended for children in grades 1 – 5.
