This Christmas we welcome a new team member! To help others in need at the end of this turbulent year, Leviy has put extra thought into the Christmas hamper for all the Leviyanen. Each item in the hamper has been thoughtfully selected to support local businesses that have been hit hard by the Corona crisis. Besides people, animals are also being affected by the current crisis. Because of the restrictions a lot of people have been heading to the beaches, which means a lot of baby seals are forced to head out to sea too soon.
For this reason we decided to also make a donation to Sealcentre Pieterburen as a part of the Christmas hamper. Yesterday we got the news that they had unfortunately found a baby seal all by itself on the beach. Luckily for him, help was on its way! He was rescued and will be cared for lovingly until he has fully recovered. We are grateful for the continuous hard work of these volunteers, who have also been struck by the crisis as they have had to close their doors to visitors and are missing out on donations which they heavily rely on. In this video you can see how the seal is being examined by the rescue team. We hope he will be able to return to the North Sea soon!
Who can guess what we named him? Click here for the video.

FACT: During his stay at Pieterburen Leviy Seal has grown from a small fragile pup into a 24 kg baby seal. Watch till the end!
