Guest guest Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Dear Azam, I fully supporting your NETWORKING WORK & PAWS is ready to help against elephant polo. I cannot give u answer of every question that why I kept quiet. Rather u should have asked the existing orgnisation like RAW ( Whom I am helping since past 2 yrs. to setup NGO in Jaipur) GSPCA ( When Snehal Bhatt called last sunday regarding National Geograpic Shooting, that time I expressed my feeling that no one has informed me including her & RAW about campigning in jaipur). I was not aware that this campaign went on national level as I did not check my emails till last saturaday that is only because I was busy in my Engagement arrangment & then I fallen sick. As far as work is concern, many of the people in this group may not liking me, so many are not happy with me but that did not stop me from my work past 9 years in animal welfare. The work goes on..
