26 to 28 March 2010 is when the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind are raising funds to help with training Guide Dogs:
Red Puppy appeal.
It costs the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind over $22,500 to breed, then train a guide dog for a blind or partially sighted New Zealander. With no government funding for this essential service public support is truly valued. You can continue to support Guide Dog Services by donating today.

Volunteers are vital to the work of the RNZFB’s Red Puppy Appeal, and in the course of a year over 10,000 people volunteer. This includes volunteers for both the Red Puppy Appeal (previously Guide Dog Appeal) and Blind Week. Volunteering provides a wonderful opportunity to meet people, learn new skills, share existing skills, and have fun and give something back to your community.
