A local nonprofit organization named Champ’s Heart has been given a second chance after an anonymous donation of a location for the program to take place. Champ’s Heart was previously based out of a historical park in Shelley but had to halt their program after complaints made to animal control. There were also issues with the lease leaving no place for the horse encounters to take place. The founder of Champ’s Heart expressed his concern of not knowing whether the program would need to be shut down. Fortunately, one of the volunteers of the non-profit had a friend who offered up her arena and land so that Champ’s Heart could continue their program. Champ’s Heard gives children facing cancer and other disabilities a chance to experience horse encounters.
A mother duck followed by 5 ducklings wandered into the University of Nottingham’s George Green Library, stunning students and staff. They entered through an open door and wandered around the library for a little while completely unfazed. After watching the line of ducklings for a little while, the staff of the library eventually ushered the ducks back outside. Video footage of the ducks and ducklings can be viewed at the Good News Network website.
