1. FROM THE DESK OF HONY. GEN. SECRETARY:

 

Dear All,

 

I am happy to inform you that due to our consistent efforts to vaccinate

and treat donkeys in camps over the last few years, this year there have

been no cases of donkeys suffering from dehydration and stiffness in the

monsoons. We’ve been taking them in our ambualnce and also treating them

in several camps.This has certainly benefitted them a lot. We at PAWS

intend to do more camps in local areas.

 

The appeal in our E-mail newsletter fetched us Some donation that saw

us through a month. We have neither our own office,

website, nor hospital. We don’t have foreign funding, nor do any foreign

magazines publish our work. We can’t pay huge salaries nor do we have

corpus fund.Yet, PAWS Mumbai and Thane received the award from Karmayog

Site for our‘Outsanding Service to the Society’.

 

We are a small group of animal lovers driven by the love & care for our four

legged, feathered and scaled friends. Our main strength lies in our

dedicated young volunteers and committed supporters across India and we

are thankful for this amazing group of animal loving people who always

stand by us.

 

Yours for Animals,

Nilesh Bhanage

8. First Hand Tips for stray animals:

 

Skin ailments , rashes and hair fall etc. in stray animals can be easily

treated by simple home remedies – Take some Neem leaves, a pinch of

saffron & a little coconut oil and crush together in a mixer.. Apply on

affected skin area twice a day. After 5 days of treatment the animal will

show remarkable improvement.

9. VEGAN RECEIPE:

 

Corn-Quinoa Medley

 

The increase in heat brings fresher options for meals. Although many

people prefer to eat grains during the colder months, quinoa is a light

grain that combines well with cold dishes or vegetables plates, making it

an ideal source of summertime nutrition. In addition to great taste, corn

provides vitamins b & c and many minerals for nutritional balance. You can

prepare this easy main dish with rich quinoa and versatile corn for a

tasty, nutrient-rich meal.

 

Ingredients:

 

6 cups water

3 cups quinoa, well rinsed

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1 cup red pepper, destemmed, deseeded, and diced

1 cup orange pepper, destemmed, deseeded, and diced

1/4 cup olive oil, divided

2 cups cut corn

2 Tbs. garlic, minced

1 cup green onions, sliced

1/2 cup black olives, sliced

1/4 cup freshly parsley, chopped

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

 

Directions:

In a saucepan, place the water and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa, cover,

reduce the heat to very low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender;

drain off excess water, transfer to a bowl, and fluff with a fork.

In a lightly greased pan, cook pumpkin seeds over medium heat for 3-4

minutes. Transfer toasted pumpkin seeds to a bowl and set aside. In the

same skillet, saute red and orange pepper in 1 Tsp. olive oil, for 3

minutes; add corn and garlic, and saute an additional 3 minutes; add green

onions and saute for 1 minute; add sauted vegetables, reserved pumpkin

seeds, and remaining ingredients to quinoa.
