Lydia and Abigail's Sri Lanka expedition 2017

Fundraising for WECare Worldwide

Story

We are two student veterinary nurses fundraising for an expedition to Sri Lanka April 2017. We will be volunteering for WECareWorldwide, an animal charity based in the South of the country.

The aim of the trip is to improve animal welfare in Southern Sri Lanka by taking part in trap-neuter-vaccine-release projects to reduce the population, treating injured and sick animals and educating local schools. Currently in Sri Lanka the welfare of animals is under criticism due to many variants including the increased population.

Money generated by fundraising will be donated directly to the charity who will spend this on crucial materials needed for urgent treatment. This may include surgical equipment, medications and consumables.

We are aiming to raise £600 so any donations are greatly appreciated!!

Thank you,

Lydia and Abigail

"WECare are going to save the world, one animal at a time!" Janey Lowes, very optimistic founding member of WECare Worldwide. We dream of providing healthcare for all animals in desperate need of help around the world. Yes, we know it's a big dream, but anything is possible when we all come together! WECare Worldwide is an organisation set up by Westway Veterinary Group, the largest veterinary practice in the North of England. Ultimately, WECare Worldwide plan to extend veterinary services around the globe but initially will be concentrating on tacking the issues with the street dog population in Sri Lanka. It is estimated that there are up to 3 million street dogs in Sri Lanka. WECare Worldwide are in the process of carrying out a 5 year plan in which we will look to help eliminate rabies in the country and also reduce the numbers of unwanted street dogs. We will also treat any sick or injured street dogs.
