Amber Velloz, a talented 12-year-old entrepreneur, excels in crochet and amigurumi toy-making. Entirely self-taught, she achieved a Guinness World Record for the largest exhibition of crochet ponchos at age 10. Amber is also a published author, a skilled swimmer, reader, painter, and coder. Despite her diverse interests, she balances her creative pursuits with family time, often playing with her younger brothers. Amber's passion extends to teaching children crochet, inspiring them to explore their creativity and embrace traditional arts in the digital age.

For DMB Foundation, Amber has ingeniously crafted a stuffed toy, named Notchy, with a distinctive feature: one notched ear, symbolising the significance of sterilisation. This design choice mirrors the real-life practice where street dogs and cats are marked with a clipped ear to indicate they have been sterilised. Highlighting the importance of vaccinations and sterilisation. Amber's creation raises awareness about responsible animal care, whether for pets or strays, emphasising the vital role these procedures play in ensuring the well-being of animals.

Please consider getting Notchy, gifting him to a special someone or including it in your Diwali and Christmas gift hampers.

shelters for street dogs and cats

We built spacious, comfortable shelters big enough to accommodate adult dogs and cats. Made from fiber, these nooks are tough enough to withstand any kind of weather. Cherry on top? They even double up as plant holders. Since this was an idea we were raring to make a reality, we didn’t build too many at first. We wanted to ascertain their practicality for potential widespread production and most importantly - to gauge public interest in placing these shelters within private premises or near shops. Turns out, our little experiment worked! Almost instantly, a couple of street cats adopted these shelters as their territory. 


If you are interested in placing one of these in your locality, please DM us or reach out to us at doingmybitfoundation@gmail.com.
