german sheph laila/pom new delhi

Thanks to the contribution from all you animal lovers out there Speedo & Shaina have both found homes and loving families of their own.

We are now looking for a home for a 6 year old german Shepherd female who is lovely and docile and who was abandoned by her owners on the road outside Friendicoes. She looks like a new mother and we think her last owner was a breeder. Any body out there who would like to give "Laila" a home please call on 9818201987.

We also have a very sweet young Pomeranian for adoption. She was found on the road by an animal lover who kindly brought her to us. If interested please call 9818201987.

This is an 8-year-old Bhutiya of a couple who moved to India from Nepal two years back. Now they are leaving the country and don't know where are headed (quite strange).

They are not very cooperative. They had even said that they will put the dog down if they no one comes forward to adopt him!

My friend went over to meet the dog. Bari, she explained, is a very very good natured dog. He is very friendly and very obedient. He is not a hyper dog and even licked my friend's hand :) (though she was a stranger).

He needs food only once a day.

This dog is a beautiful one. He has so much love to give. Please help us find him a home.

Interested people please call Anne Marie Singh on 98108 06485

There is a5- 6 month male Rotweiler up for adoption in DELHI. Highly pedigreed and friendly. He was a Japanese diplomat dog who left him at my cousins place after his tenure got over. That ass also put his older dog to sleep believe it or not. The dog is at my cousins farm but they want him to find a loving home or someone who can genuinely take care of him. The dog has been micro-chipped too and has been vaccinated too. Please help me to find him a good home.

Food for thought?

The United Nations warned Friday of a food crisis in Sri Lanka's north where some 250,000 civilians are trapped in fighting between government forces and Tamil rebels on the verge of defeat.
Amnesty International called on both sides to declare a cease-fire to allow civilians out and to let food, water and medical supplies be delivered to those who can't leave.

''A quarter of a million people are suffering without adequate food and shelter while shells rain down upon them,'' said Yolanda Foster, a researcher at the London-based rights group.

Two hundred and fifty thousand Sri Lankans do not currently have access to food.
The U.N.’s World Food Program wants to help, but can’t get supplies into the area. The government is saying it’s protecting civilians, but death tolls are rising. Amnesty International is calling for a ceasefire to get innocents out of harm’s way, but have been denied.

And ah! if you would be interested, here's another journal:Angelina Jolie’s Sri Lanka Journal

Going to School on Wheels

Haider goes to school in his wheelchair. Every morning, Haider's friends arrive at his house 30 minutes before school begins. Deciding who gets to push Haider today, they tip the wheelchair back onto its two big black wheels and are away. Haider lives one kilometre away from Raspunja Free Primary School. One kilometre was a long way for Haider without wheels. In fact, one kilometre was so far that Haider didn't go to school until he was given a wheelchair. Now he wheels wherever the boys take him, and they take him everywhere

hats off 2 d kiddo.. n his friends! salute ya!

Education for all

Hats off! I love dis ad!:)

The power of Mobile telephony to address the socially relevant theme of education.The thought-provoking ad campaign has Abhishek Bachchan playing the head of an educational institution. When challenged by the traditional, physically bound classroom methodology that prevents reaching out to many more who are in need of education, he uses mobile telephony to overcome the barrier.
