At AWOL we all passionately
care about the welfare of animals and in turn the welfare of the
family that owns them. Having spent the last few years living in
Luxor, helping people care for their animals and getting to know
so many families we realise that it is not cruelty but a lack of
 understanding
and outdated practices that compound the hardship.
Though we have seen significant improvements
to the animals on the east bank of Luxor and particularly the calash
horses that give tourists tours of the town, the condition of the
animals of the large farming community of El Marise, on Luxor's
west bank, remain unchanged. This is where your support is needed
to open a small centre where we can make the lives of amongst others
the large number of dogs, horses and the extremely hard working
donkeys so much better through preventative medical care and education.
We are doing what we can in the villages that
form El Marise but we urgently need extra funds for a basic centre
from which to work. This would give us a fixed location for people
to bring their animals to and would, once funds allow, enable us
to employ a full time vet.
These are early days and we are looking for like
minded people to join us, raise awareness and of course funds to
help the community and especially the children grow with a better
understanding for the animals that work so hard for them.
