“My school teachers teach me to care for our planet Earth. When I grow up, I want to become an animal activist and save as many animals as I can.”
I spent my summer vacation visiting ‘Animal Aid Unlimited’, a rescue centre in Udaipur, Rajasthan, which I learnt about from YouTube about a year ago.

I was very happy to see the place as I dream of opening a place like this when I grow up.
Animal Aid rescues many kinds of animals – dogs, cats, donkeys, cows, lambs, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, tortoises and birds. I was very eager to volunteer and help the animals at the centre.
There were more than 500 dogs there including puppies. Some had been rescued, some had undergone surgeries, while some others had cancer, were paralysed or blind.
