Many people here rely on horses and donkeys to navigate the confined streets which are too narrow to drive by car.
I am running an international training in ophthalmology – or the treatment of medical and surgical eye problems. Unfortunately this is the perfect place for it.
Name an eye condition and you will find it here. Some animals are blind, others are missing one eye.
Many others are suffering from painful, vision endangering conditions.
I also see how Brooke India works very hard in contacting and educating the local people about better animal welfare.
I see a definite link between how people who care for their animals also care for their human neighbours.
I can also see through the attitudes of the children how progressively new behaviours are passed between generations.
