Wow, what a way to kick-start the New Year…

The end of January found me flying off to volunteer in India  –  Laser in hand  – to help out with the aftermath of the Uttarayan Kite Festival in Ahmedabad.

Each year thousands of birds get caught up in the kite strings of these colourful and mesmerising lethal ‘toys’.  Thankfully the Jivdaya Charitable Trust  is on hand to take in these casualties.  However the numbers involved mean that volunteers and vets from both India and all over the world are welcomed to help fulfil the needs.
