In December 2006, Shishpal accompanied Ramesh to Jaipur for their animal assistants training and great fun was had by all. As well as being an invaluable training exercise it was a chance for them to mix with new people and see the different ways that the experienced Doctors and Compounders at Help in Suffering worked.
Along with Parveen, Bunty also attended the 2 week animal assistant training course held at Help in Suffering, Jaipur. As you can see from his face, Bunty was very happy to complete his training and receive his certificate from Dr Jack Reece, veterinary surgeon in charge of the ABC extension programme.

In August 2006, our two trained compounders Manoj and Siteram were invited to attend a Donkey Farriery Course in Ahmedabad. The 3 day course which was excellently run, covered all topics to do with donkey hoof care and was kindly sponsored by The Donkey Sanctuary, India. At the end of the course each compounder received a complete hoof care kit. They both enjoyed the course immensely and came away with lots of invaluable information that will help us in the future.

Finally Ramesh managed to complete his animal assistant training at Help in Suffering in Jaipur, after falling sick with bird flu when he was supposed to go with Bunty in October 2006. I think it was a blessing in disguise as unleashing Ramesh and Bunty together would have been more than H.I.S could handle.
In October 2006, Parveen attended the 2 week animal assistant training course held at Help in Suffering, Jaipur. The course covers many topics from anatomy to surgical techniques. Parveen was very excited to get the chance to work with elephants. It was a proud moment when he received his certificate from Dr Jack Reece, veterinary surgeon in charge of the ABC extension programme.
