We also participated with JAINA to build Panchasar Panjrapole District Patan, India, in memory of Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanuji. These contributions will make a remarkable difference and will provide invaluable services to mute, sick, aged, and helpless animals and birds in rural areas of India and here in the USA. Thank you all from bottom of our hearts for your generosity in a record. This year due to excessive rain in many parts of India has created lot of hardship on humans and animals and shelters.

The Jiv Daya committee requests your support in taking care of animals. The impact of even a small donation makes a big difference in the lives of these animals.
