1. FROM THE DESK OF HONY. GEN. SECRETARY

 

This is wishing you ,your families and our animal friends a Happy and joyful New

year.

We are proud to announce that on 11th January 2006, PAWS will enter its sixth

year .During this time our young team mates overcame several obstacles and faced

many challenges to keep working tirelessly towards helping over 4000 stray

animals.

 

This month I visited CUPA at Bangalore and also ‘Help in Suffering’ at Jaipur

where I went with my parents on a holiday. There I met Suprana Ganguly who gave

me an amazing and touching book entitled ‘The Mad Dogs & English Women’ which

is the autobiography of Late Crystal Rogers who started the first animal

welfare organization in India and devoted her life towards the cause of

animals! The book touched my heart and restored my faith in the need to help

animals in distress and is a must read for all animal lovers. Both her

organizations CUPA & Help In Suffering are mentioned in this book are doing

excellent work. She was the pioneer of animal welfare movement in India - Hats

off to her!!

 

Yours truly,

Nilesh Bhanage

6. APPEAL FOR FUNDS:

 

HELP US HELP THE NEEDY!

 

We at PAWS are committed to help our four legged , furred, feathered and scaled

friends but for this we are totally dependent on financial help from donors and

generous well wishers. Helping distressed people is indeed a service to Humanity

but serving dumb and helpless creatures is service to GOD. While there are

several others who destroy them , we at PAWS conserve , rehabilitate and serve

animals as best as funds permit . We need money to run our ambulance, pay

salaries and buy food and medicine. We therefore appeal to you to kindly help us

help the needy.

 

You small contribution would make us difference!
