How it began
My journey with HIS started with a rescued kitten in urgent need of care. While searching for help in Jaipur, I came across HIS. From the moment I visited, I was touched by the care every animal received , no matter how small or weak. I realized then that I didn’t just want to bring animals here , I wanted to be part of their healing.
A day in my life
Most of my time is spent feeding and comforting puppies, kittens, and baby birds. I’ve fostered some at home, providing warmth, food, and safety until they became strong. I also cared for an injured bird whose neck was bent; with daily exercises, she learned to hold her head straight again. Baby squirrels, too, became part of my foster family for a while. Even the smallest progress , a wagging tail or a cheerful chirp , brought immense joy.
A memorable moment
Releasing animals back into nature is unforgettable. Watching a bird I cared for fly freely or a once-weak puppy run joyfully filled me with pride and peace. It’s a reminder that healing is not just about survival , it’s about giving back freedom.
What I learned
Volunteering at HIS taught me patience, responsibility, and the value of compassion in action. Animals need more than food and shelter; they need love, comfort, and someone to stand by them. I now see strays not as helpless, but as lives full of hope and resilience.
Words for future volunteers
You don’t need special skills , just a kind heart and willingness to give your time. Even small acts, like feeding or comforting an animal, make a difference. And the love you receive in return stays with you for life.
