This way we are giving more support to the community, especially in these difficult times."-FRANCISCO RAMÍREZ:-"This project...I don't know why...when you are here you feel very good vibes. This has been an icon, an inspiration for many others.""This is the correct way to overcome (the situation) in the community, there's no other way than collaborating, there's no other way than identifying ourselves with the same feeling. We need to get connected and get rid of that education the system gave us, which taught us to divide, to be selfish and have money...and it is thought money is all but it is nothing, it's only a means but it will not give you satisfaction they way we experience it here."-ESTEVE WANG, LOCAL WHO DONATES FOOD.

Have you ever flown with your dog before? Maybe you know how much of a worry it is to leave your pooch behind with a friend for an extended period of time or, even worse, leave your dog in the hold with the rest of the baggage. However, one airline is now offering a novel new service which enables their clients to bring their best animal friends on board the flight and keep the in the cabin. Japan Airlines launched a special flight that allows pet dogs to travel in the cabin with their owners. They rolled out the new, limited-time service, which is called the "wan wan jet," on the flight from Narita International Airport outside Tokyo to the southwestern Kagoshima Prefecture, and dog lovers are howling with delight. Pet dogs and their owners were able to depart together in the passenger cabin of a Boeing 737 as part of a special three-day domestic tour. While pets usually travel in cargo compartments, the "wan wan jet" service gave owners the right to make sure that their dog were safe and comfortable as they traveled together in the cabin on a charter flight. The dog flight service is part of a package tour. Owners accompanied by their furry friends will stay together in a hotel and go sightseeing. The basic package costs just over $1,300 for two adults and a dog.
