People paint their houses during the festive season. We also paint our home (Jivdaya) during another festive time. This is a very different kind of festival for us. The festival is called ‘UTTARAYAN’. On 14th and 15th January the entire nation celebrates ‘UTTARAYAN’ by flying kites but those two days we celebrate something else at ‘JIVDAYA’, we celebrate ‘LIFE’. Jivdaya treats thousands of birds who get severely injured by glass coated thread (manja). We find our joy by saving all those innocent speechless lives who have no clue about the festival or the deadly manja. During this time a huge group of vets, vet assistants, volunteers and other team members come together under one roof to make the impossible things possible. But like every other event this event needs preparation too. These are the few tiny glimpses of the preparation work just to mention that in our team every member is important. Like these hardworking the members.
We need your support to save thousands of speechless birds!
