Street Dog Feeding

Encouraging cadets at SMTI to feed street dogs sends a powerful message and imparts several meaningful lessons, both personal and professional:

1. Compassion and Empathy:
   Feeding street dogs fosters kindness, empathy, and care for all living beings—qualities that build good character and responsible leadership.
2. Discipline and Responsibility:
   Regularly caring for animals teaches cadets to be consistent, punctual, and accountable—skills essential in maritime and any professional career.
3. Respect for Life:
   It instills the understanding that every life, no matter how small or vulnerable, deserves dignity and respect—an attitude that reflects maturity and humanity.
4. Community Engagement:
   It connects cadets to the local environment and society, showing that being a seafarer doesn’t mean ignoring land-based responsibilities.
