Running Water
**Dr Irschad and the new water bore**
Since we officially opened our doors in October 2005 we have been relying on water being delivered on a weekly basis. Not so much of an issue during Monsoon season, but for the remaining 10 months of the year we would have the water truck arrive to pump water from its tank, into our tank sitting on the hospital roof - a very noisy affair. We always had to be extra careful not to run out before our next delivery.
After a successful water bore attempt, this meant we could access the natural water underground to use at our hospital. It was thanks to Kym, our long term volunteer, who had a whip round of family and friends back home in the UK, and managed to raise enough money to pay for the pipes to be connected to our main hospital.
Having our own running water saves us having to rely on the deliveries of tankered water and also reduces our weekly running costs.
Many thanks to Kym and all those people who were spurred on to donate for this much needed facility. It was very much appreciated and has made life so much better for the animals, our dedicated staff and our invaluable volunteers.
