I went to a meeting yesterday and at the end passed the hat round for the Egypt Starving Animals... I asked for a £1 a head would be great... got a nice little amount.
Thank You to all who ccontributed
Will be going into the HSBC account later today.

Anyone one know what the uptoday situation is in Egypt, I quite liked our ongoing reports and photo's every couple of days, seems to have gone (wrong word) dead over the last few days.. anyone got the uptodat news link. can they leave it for me please.
PS. If th situation is still the same ( as when I was working and paying tax) there was no tax to be paid on donations to charital organisations)... so £ for £ you could claim the tax back.
Might be the same now.

Hi, Iv'e just donated to ESMA via the donate button and the paypal comes up saying it goes to Animal Diplomacy?

Hi, Yes its collected by Animal Diplomacy a USA group, and I understand ESMA has to justify the cash they request, hense they are keeping records and making notes of who has the feed for the horses.
I'm only guessing this is how it works...after reading the statement put out by ESMA.
One of the questions that would be nice to know is..How long does it take to get to the Egypt situation and ESMA and if there is one pot... so we could be paying for all the starving animal and not just the horses & Donkeys that appear to be suffering most..:ie dying at the mo..or the risk of it..
I'd like to know about this side of things too.
In the Vets report, it does say it can take months to get money to them....
and thats it difficult to get money into Egypt.......
Maybe we need to make other arrangements...Any one got any idea's.
Could we send it to a friend of the organisation to get it there direct or to ESMA'a HQ in Egypt.....
I'd hate to think that the feeding was stopped due to the lack of funds reaching them in time.....
Anyone got any thoughts.
Sue
PS. Has anyone contacted the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctury, I wonder what they say about the donkey situation at the Zoo and other places in Egypt. They may be able to help by putting pressure on their people in Egypt.

also leaving Horse World.

ESMA 'Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals'
Posted 1hour ago.
Beth Sartain,
Hi Linda,in all the time we've spent there we've only seen one group of tourists. There were about 10 of them and they all rode camels. With all the trouble in Libya,Tunisia etc I think the tourists are wary to travel in this area. We're hoping they come back soon as Egypt really needs them. The finanacing of a long term project is impossible for ESMA...we are a small charity totally run by volunteers who are working evry spare minute they have. We need major help and quickly. |

I've asked the question about the funds going direct to ESMA on their FB page. They really need to sort this out quick I would prefer any donation I send to help the starving animals in Egypt.
It's all so sad. Poor Donkey's eating the food with dead bodies all around them, so pitiful. |

Thinking of ways of raising money for ESMA on a regular basis ,( apart from my current standing order for them and brooke )I decided to extend my vegetable garden and sell some produce ,along with my already market of free range eggs roughly a dozen a day which is £2  hence I been busy for the past 2 days it has taken a huge amount of wwheelbarrowwork and its still in progress. but here it is , can anyone else think of ways of raising money for ESMA please add your thoughts and pictures

Looks like hard work Lynda but a good idea. What about growing Sweet Peas so you can keep cutting them and offer them for sale as bunches of flowers. They flower the more you pick them and you would have flowers all summer long.
I find it hard to look at the photos on the ESMA site, so dreadful isn't it.
There we are arguing about shaving a foals face and in Egypt it's all they can do to keep animals alive, crazy world we live in. |

sweet peas are coming on nicely in the greenhouse Sue I am ahead of you there  broad beans , runner beans , french beans, spring onions, shallots , garlic , tomatoes, all in hand , I will put a little table down the end of the drive and hope people will be honest. the eggs used to go missing but that seems to have stopped now and everyone is very honest , to the point where if they come past and eggs are there , but they have no cash on them , they leave a note IOU , and sure enough the money turns up , also they leave kitchen scraps, egg boxes returned( peelings and stuff for the chickens , it all helps.
Yes Sue it is very depressing to look at the pictures on ESMA but look it prompted me and several others! also my daughter has set up a standing order with them I believe ! so its all positive , the only thingI hate the thought of is that we help the animals back to health and send them back to the hell which is their poor lives I wish we could send people around to the schools to help teach the children empathy for their animals , I feel that is the only long term issue worth pursuing. |

Difficult one isn't it re teaching them empathy. I know it's another world and the teaching thing has to be a good way forwards you would think, but these poor people just have nothing and I suppose caring for an animal is way down on their list.
I'm sure ESMA and Brooke know the right way forwards, all we can do is send whatever we can afford no matter how small and as often as we can.
You are a shining light Lynda in caring enough to dig for charity! I will send a small amount as often as I can.

Yes I was a bit worried when my donation went through to Animal Diplomacy a couple of weeks ago but hey ho. Much as I'm fond of cats and dogs, I really do want my money to go towards feeding the horses. Still it's done and hopefully the money will get through asap.
I don't think that they don't have empathy with their animals, they just don't have the luxury of time or money to treat them like we do. It's a very different world to ours sadly.

I've got two rides in April where I'm taking the entries, so I will be out with the hat, similar situation as at the MP's meeting on Friday, I asked everyone to donate £1, and the MP supported me..Could do with an official collection tin..anyone got the GB contact details..
I'm also thinking of having a cheese & wine and a 4 mile walk ending in the pub.
