Saturdays Are Party Days at Deonar!

Every Saturday, a group of youngsters with the wonderful name "Animals Matter to Me", come to our Deonar Centre with all sorts of goodies for all the animals housed at IDA. Ganesh Nayak, the young man who started this organisation, AMTM, spends the week collecting various types of food and other items that are sorely needed at the Centre. For a couple of hours every Saturday, these young people spend their time helping with the large scale feeding, checking out all the animals, including the very young. They also help with adoptions, and two Saturdays running, a couple of kittens have been adopted by one or the other of those present.
It's a treat for our animals all round. They love the company, and the company loves to interact with them! In the first picture you can see what a variety of items they manage to bring in, and in the second, you can see the interaction itself.
And this happens every Saturday without fail, come rain or sunshine!
