Dear Supporter,
Our focus this month was to run a mini challenge fundraiser for our new project partners, HART. HART stands for Himalayan Animal Rescue Trust and aims to improve the lives of animals in Nepal. HART’s first base was set up in Pokhara and they have since set up a new base in Chitwan with the government veterinary hospital. Animal welfare is a low priority in Nepal. Dogs roam the streets in packs, foraging for food on rubbish heaps, fighting, mating and giving birth in conditions of squalor and disease. Rabies is prevalent throughout the area. Animals die painfully from infected wound, traffic accidents, untreated tumors and diseases or are culled by local authorities with strychnine.
HART had told us that they really needed help with purchasing a new medical cabinet, a stainless steel operating table and to refurbish the HART vehicle. We have spoken to HART about the funds and they would like to purchase a new operating table. Presently, HART is using a folding plastic table which works very well when they are performing clinics or camps but when at the center a more stable hygienic table is required.
HART relocated to a new facility in September. Once they are settled in the new table will be purchased so that HART can continue helping to eradicate rabies, help injured or sick animals and help to reduce the street dog population humanely.
Thank you for supporting this cause.
All the best
GVI Nepal
