Re-launch of website for VN founded Asian charity
The Tree of Life for Animals (TOFLA) charity, founded by VN Rachel Wright in 2005, has re-launched its website and is calling for nurses to help volunteer next year.
The revamp of the site now includes background about the charity, videos showing its work and information about volunteering at the organisation’s animal hospital in India.
TOLFA’s UK manager Kym Barratt commented on the new site: “Everything on there is new. We’ve completely re-written the site from scratch, it’s got new sections, interactive screens etc. The old site was very old-fashioned and didn’t really offer all the bits we wanted.
“We’re also in the process of taking the volunteering process online, with forms going up on the site soon.”
“Vets and VNs make up about 70 per cent of our volunteers and we’re hoping to get more and more VNs involved – our head of recruitment, who is also an RVN, just loves getting nurses in because they always hit the ground running.” She added.
Rachel Wright began work on a small animal hospital in the Rajasthan area of northern India. The charity now runs an ongoing rabies vaccination project for the area's stray dog population, as well as providing rescue housing and veterinary treatment for a variety of small animals in need of care.
