We vaccinate and neuter dogs in Jaipur to prevent humans from dying of rabies

Story

Hey there!

I'm a fourth year vet student and I'm going out to Jaipur in February 18 to volunteer with the charity His In suffering. The charity is letting me volunteer for free and will be guiding and mentoring me while I am there! Because this is such a fantastic opportunity I want to raise as much money as I possibly can to donate to them!

I have funded the flights and accomodation by myself so therefore all the money I raise will go straight towards the charity itself!

My challenge is to go plastic free for a month. Plastic is everywhere in our daily lives and it's becoming a real burden as most cannot be reused and ends up landfill, the environment, oceans and animals. Little things like toothbrushes to plastic water bottles, food packaging I'll avoid and I'll write posts about how I get on!

I really regret how much (packaging especially) that i throw away. I want to avoid one use products and learn about alternative reusable items!

Thank you so much for your support!!
