Long term volunteer Michelle Hayes talks about her experience about TOLFA.
Volunteering at TOLFA was the single most amazing experience of my life – a combination of the things you go through at the hospital itself (whether you are a vet or non-vet volunteer) and the intense life that is India – makes for an experience [...]

Our Time at TOLFA
Kay and Ian visited TOLFA in December 2009. Here is their story.
The previous year we (both 10 yr qualified vets) had decided that as we were moving house and changing jobs it would be a good idea to have a premature mid life crisis and go to India. We organised to have [...]

Each Project Raja Volunteer has a minimum contribution of £300-500 to raise. Eilidh, our returning volunteer managed to raise the magnificent sum of £1430.
This money has provided enough funds to buy medicines and surgical supplies to keep the hospital running for nearly two and a half months! Many thanks to her and those who [...]

For a few years I had been planning to go to TOLFA since I first met Rachel Wright the Founder and Serena Schellenberg (fundraiser) at a wonderful fundraising auction for TOLFA arranged by Serena in 2008.

Ziva from Slovenia heard about TOLFA for the first time at the International Veterinary Students’ Association (IVSA) Symposium in Glasgow in January 2009. Here’s her story:
I stopped at TOLFA’s stand and found out who they were and what they did in the animal welfare world. I became interested at once and decided to apply for [...]

When Jo came over to volunteer with us in October 2009, she took heed of our Wish List and arranged to bring over some heatpads.
Our sick pups always need some extra heat - especially in winter time - and an electric heatpad is just the thing for them to snuggle up on. It keeps them [...]

Jo spent her extra holiday time volunteering for TOLFA this year. Not only did she donate time and money but she also donated 3 much needed heatpads from our Wish List. Here’s her story:
I was a volunteer at the TOLFA animal hospital for three weeks in October 2009 and helped mostly with the [...]
