Save Your Pennies

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

A really easy way to help us raise money is to have a pot or jar to collect all your old pennies in. When it is full, donate it to us - you’d be amazed how much you can save this way with hardly any effort at all!

Every penny counts and in India a little can go a long way and this very simple idea can help us fund our Rabies Vaccination programme for 1 year, saving 5000 dogs from this dreadful disease.

Become a small branch on the Tree Of Life For Animals by getting involved in our Piggy Bank Scheme today.

Thank you for your support!

Recycle Your Mobile

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

Do you have one of those drawers that collects stuff you don’t need anymore?

Go on, have a look and see what you can find. If you find an old unused mobile and you just don’t know what to do with it - donate your unwanted mobile phone to us!

Whatever the age, condition or working order it can be recycled and at the same time we receive £2.50 per phone which will go straight to our animal shelter in India.

Make sure you delete any numbers, pictures and messages, remove the sim card and send the phone (no chargers please) in a jiffy bag to this freepost address:

Thank you for your support with our campaign.

Update from India

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Our work at the hospital continues at its usual non-stop pace. There have been a few weather catastrophes recently though - as the heat is really starting now we have had some freak storms, one of them unfortunately smashed the whole of the roof of our small cattle shade. Work needs to start as soon as possible to repair this to protect the cattle from the increasing heat and at the same time we are we digging the foundations for the boundary wall to create a secure perimeter.We are just preparing to start our campaign of Animal Birth Control and Rabies vaccination for Pushkar and estimate that the whole of the city can be finished in 6 months before the next Pushkar Mela starts.We are also just launching a small donkey project using the skills that 2 of our animal assistants learnt on their donkey farrier course run by the Donkey Sanctury in Ahmedabad. Once a month, they will hold a free hoof trimming service together with advice on saddle care, nutrition, teeth etc. If the monthly sessions are a success, we will increase this to a weekly session.Having electricity on site has made such a difference to us and what we can achieve - I can’t believe we managed for so long without it!Rachel Wright
