The dogs of Kathmandu are often subjected to the most horrific cruelty. They are beaten, kicked and run down by vehicles most of the time, making them injured, in pain or starving. We receive 40 to 50 animal cruelty and abuse cases, mostly related to street dogs, by hotline, email and social media. We have a well-equipped team consisting of veterinarians, assistants and helpers who handle the cases by visiting the spot where the incident takes place. Our team is always on the move in our own animal ambulance, where a full-fledged medical facility has been installed, to transfer animals to our clinic in serious cases.

When I think back on it, my first experience volunteering overseas kind of sucked. It's a long story, but the short version is that I showed up in Nepal thinking that I was going to save the world and found out that really I was on an adventure tour posing as a volunteer programme.
