With Compassion & Soul

 Bev Luff - Initiator

Ever since I can remember, I have loved animals and people. Believe it or not, my first word was 'DOG' !!  I was the kind of kid who always brought home lost or injured animals to nurse. I befriended the friendless, and cared greatly about the lives of the suffering. I am a helper and like being able to help people and animals. Both of my parents were animal lovers and non-judgmental of race, sex, sexuality or class. They also had strong ethics on justice and always seems to support the underdog. I thank my Mother for my creativity, stength & passion and my late Father for my patience, strength & compassion.

At age seventeen I read a copy of Peter Singer's Animal Liberation, and my life changed forever. I became a Vegetarian.

This book opened my eyes to the cruelty and abuse in the food, clothing, cosmetics, science and entertainment industries in relation to animals. I made a commitment to leading a cruelty free life.

I am a Honorary Life Member of Animal Liberation SA, I have been a member of Amnesty International, World Vision, and many other organizations that inspire the seed of compassion in me also.

In 2003, after visiting both developed and under developed countries and witnessing first-hand the deplorable condition of animals in these countries, and by chance being inspired by a little blond dog on wheels called BUFFY I decided to do something to help. I created With Compassion & Soul, an organisation that would raise funds and awareness, aiding the many groups in these countries working tirelessly to stop the suffering. In 2006 it became an Incorporated Association.  In addition, With Compassion & Soul has become involved in projects which help women and children around the world.

I believe we are all connected to each other and the earth, we all make an impact. It is our choice as to what that impact will be.

"Be the change you want to see"   Gandhi

There are many wonderful people who help achieve the goals of With Compassion & Soul.

The sister of compassion is surely gratitude, and it is with gratitude that I, on behalf of all those who have benefited from the generosity of the supporters of With Compassion & Soul express a heart felt Thank You!
