Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur UK
Society for Abandoned Animals (“SAA”) a registered charity established in 1967 to provide shelter, food, veterinary attention and homes for animals (Cats, Rabbits and dogs) abandoned by their owners operates at Mosley Acre Farm, Manchester since 1994. It is funded with the support of individual donors (including legacies), corporate partnerships and by various fundraising activities
On 5th August this year Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshbhai, founder of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur, inaugurated a Home Simulation, Socialising and Grooming room at the farm where people wanting to adopt animals can spend time with them before adoption. This room would also create a positive space in which Reiki masters who visit the farm on regular basis could practice their skills and pass them onto fellow volunteers and staff. It would create a more relaxed environment in which the animals would feel safe and give more opportunity for staff/adopters to engage in a more holistic approach in getting to know the animals and their personalities It was felt that the spiritual development of any animal is like a humans where it needs developing, nourishing and understanding…as with humans it will help nurture their self-esteem and confidence.
According to Natasha Woest, Manager at the farm, a lot of old age pensioners, people with learning and physical disabilities, social problems and many more receive a sense of healing from the animals. The touch to the animals and from the animals creates sense of belonging which provides healing to both. This activity shall now happen in this new facility.
This facility room has been donated by Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur (UK), a registered charity established in 2010.
