Week 27 - Animal SOS Sri Lanka

This week's charity was nominated by Fiona Campbell - her daughter has worked for them and she has also adopted from there herself.  The UK-based charity is Animal SOS Sri Lanka who nurse and rehome street animals and strays in Sri Lanka.  They also have an approach to the bigger picture, neutering and spaying strays to reduce the population of homeless animals and working with local authorities to vaccinate animals against rabies and testing for other tropical diseases.  Although they cannot provide kennelling facilities for every stray animal they do provide homes for disabled animals who would not survive on the streets.  Education is another part of their work, campaigning to improve treatment of animals by the general public of Sri Lanka.

It's inspiring to see someone from the UK doing so much to help animals in need in another country where conditions and the culture must be much harder to work with.
