Dear Friend,

We have crunched the numbers and are happy to report that our Rescue & Care project has admitted 2,188 sick and injured animals so far this year. These are animals that have been involved in motor accidents, are victims of abuse, have developed illnesses such as disptemper or hepatitits, or have suffered from one of a multitude of other causes that have left them in dire need of care and attention.

And you have helped make that possible! Thank you so much for supporting our work and saving lives in India.

Your support means that we always have a rescue team at the ready to help. Last month we were called to a dog who had fallen down an 80ft village well. She was desperately paddling for her life in cold water at the bottom. Our rescue team knew what to do and team member Nandu was carefully lowered down in a makeshift sling attached to the winch on our rescue vehicle. Luckily the dog was unharmed and very happy to meet her rescuers!

You can watch the incredible rescue HERE on TOLFA's YouTube Channel.

If you would like to hear more about TOLFA's work and rescue stories please sign up to our e-newsletter HERE.

We are also very excited to have had a photo selected for the Global Giving 2017 Photo Contest. There is a prize of $1,000 at stake, so please make sure you vote for us - Global Giving Photo Contest. The photo shows one of oldest staff members, Chacha, caring for a rescued donkey and prefectly sums up our ethos of compassion and kindness for all.

Thank you once again for your kind donation and support that makes all we do for animals possible.

Until next time,

Clara
