To ESMA. ( can someone leave me a message on Facebook, as I am not able to log in there.) Thank You.
Would really like to see some more pics of the horses when your next out feeding, I'd like to think they are improving.
Your doing a great job all round, horses, dogs and cats, nice to see someone cares.
Managed to raise another £35(for ESMA) this Saturday in donations, everyone who gave a £1 donation got a slice of my home made cake, went down well, two cakes brought in £25, will do it again.
Rozy. |

WOW well done sue keep it up
just to let those who cant get on face book that beth who was the main one regarding the horses is no longer with ESMA although esma are still feeding the horses as far as i'm aware but they now have no one who has experience with equines so not sure if they will keep going or not ,
beth has now joined forces with HSI humane society international to help the horses well done to beth for highlighting the need for help in egypt and doing what she has so far |

Now 14days old & copied from the Humane Society International.
February 28, 2011
Upheaval in the Middle East
On the ground in Egypt
Humane Society International
by Luke Gamble MRCVS (WVS) and Dr Hassan Abdelrahim (HSI)
In the wake of recent political unrest, numerous reports were filed with international animal charities regarding the welfare of animals in Egypt. Specifically, concern was raised about the animals within Cairo, where a high proportion of the resident population has been severely affected by virtual paralysis of economic trade.
Companion animals
In the days following the initial protests, Humane Society International coordinated the first international response to assist companion animals in desperate need of help. Dogs and cats everywhere had been abandoned, and shelters—already at capacity—were overflowing, with many animals in need of urgent treatment.
Under the direction of Dr. Hassan Abdelrahim, HSI’s Middle East manager, and Worldwide Veterinary Service—with funding from The Maria Norbury Foundation and The Marchig Animal Welfare Trust—we set up a central base and hospital station hosted by two local organizations, ESMA and Animal Haven, to attend to animals from all the dog and cat shelters in Cairo. With rolling rotating teams on the ground, we are helping hundreds of animals with treatments from amputations to review for parasites and illness, and providing training and support to Egyptian vets working on the frontlines of animal welfare.
At the zoo
We found animals at Giza Zoo in sub-optimal condition, but with adequate food and water. The zoo is highly valued by the residents of Cairo and an announcement on the radio expressing concern on day four of the revolution had members of the public coming to the zoo to check that the animals were being cared for! We met with the zoo’s director and hope that in time we might be able to advise and assist in ways that would benefit them.
Working animals
HSI observed other NGOs running a well-resourced and efficient program for horses, donkeys and camels. The treatment station we visited was well-managed and sufficiently supplied to cope with large numbers of animals. Just this week, we began a feeding program for camels—animals used extensively in the tourism industry, which has come to a virtual halt. Most working animals have received food and veterinary attention during this crisis, but there are currently few places for camels to obtain food and care. HSI decided to step in for this reason to help prevent any further suffering.
We continue to make plans for short and longer-term efforts in aid of animals in Egypt.

Hi Kim,we are doing a feed on Wednesday for horses at Sakkara. The horses there are in quite good condition but the owners now have had no income for over a month. Jsy because their horses look well it doesn't mean they don't need help...in fact if we didn't help these good people we would be penalising them for doing such a great job with their animals.
Brooke have already given out feed for a whole week at the Giza pyramids so we didnt want to overlap there as that is just a waste of resources. We are trying to see that ALL animals that need our help are getting fed. That includes the donkeys and camels.
If people just want the money to go to horses thats fine,as long as Im told how much they have donated at the time.
As I said before,I now have nothing to do with ESMA feeding and am going along the path which is correct for me and for the animals that need help.
Please feel free to forward this message to anyone who asks. Thanks Kim. x |

Just received this letter from the Brooke;
Hi Lynda,
Thank you for your email.
We are continuing to feed in regions that have been affected by the downturn in tourism. We are liaising with our team in Egypt on a daily basis, staying updated about when and where the next feed distributions will be and how many horses have been fed and treated on these days. As and when we receive this information, we immediately update the statement on our website and inform our supporters via our Facebook and twitter pages. You can read today’s statement here - http://www.thebrooke.org/news/press-centre/past-press-releases-2011/latest-brooke-update-on-egypt-crisis
We do appreciate you bringing forums on Arabian Lines to our attention but having monitored the discussions, we feel that our supporters are doing a great job in accurately delivering the latest information from our statements to the forum. Online forums are used to debate and discuss a wide variety of topics and unfortunately we cannot control what the topic of conversation will be nor the opinions expressed.
Thank you.
Victoria Hassett

Thank you Lynda for posing my message and for sharing the Brooke update with us...I wonder if they can find us some up todate photo's, I would love to see some of those horses fed in the last few days or in March, the ones on Flicker are now three weeks old.It would be nice to see how the horses and donkeys are doing now. There were some dreadfully thin cases with terrable backs and sores.A couple of donkeys, one lay down, and another with dreadfully runny eye's.
Wonder if anyone can tell us about these two.
 Wonder how this one is doing.
 and if this one is still alive... |

| What an amazing job the charities are doing and how difficult it must be to co-ordinate it all. Thank you for updating us. Ironic that I have too much grass and have to watch my horses weight. Those poor horses. |

I dont think I could bear to be inclose contact to these poor horses, I would'nt sleep for a week.
Lets keep up the good work and try to keep the funds heading their way, its got to get better, it can;t get much worse than these two.
More money on the way.
Did someone say they can direct our UK donations to the horses..can someone tell how..please.
I paid in £20 mid Feb
£20 1st march
£20 week later
& got another £35 to come. All £1 donations for the cake.
Cheers Sue |

Sue, getting payment to these places is near on impossible without someone at the other end receiving it through their bank, the bank costs are high so a large % goes to the banks at both ends !  . short of hopping on a plane and taking it bodily there is not much hope, so the best way is to pay into , ESMA, PAF and the Brooke , they way we have been doing so far . edited to say the PAF are working at getting an international account going so we can pay into that. |

Team ESMA report 40 mins ago.
Lolly Abbas Arafa
ESMA busy getting ready for feed day..
Great News..Well Done from us all here.
Thank You..Sue
--------------------------------
Hi everyone !!
Today Sherif Amasha, Marta, Yasmin Abd El-Kader And I were mixing the food from 3:00pm till 8:00pm for the horse feeding tomorrow .. Yasmin had to leave early though !
It was a pretty huge hard work as we were only 3 volunteers out there doing ALOT ( 500 sacks !! ) ..
I hope next time we'll have 10 volunteers or more. ( ...not only volunteers on papers )
I'll upload some photos in a while :)
 Ready for the morning. |
Sue

| Sue - that message you copied from mine was from an e-mail to me from beth sartain on the 14th march meaning that if anyone donates money to HSI and wants the money to be used ONLY on the horses that.. that is fine as long as you say that when donating so she knows where the money is to be used |

What a Great Team you are at ESMA....
One lucky horse, sounds like someone went home with this grey horse today.
This horse is now in a great stable, where he'll be fed every day, Thanks to Mona & Yasmin.
Well Done to all involved, what a team at ESMA.
Are both eye's the same, hope he soon improves.
Lots of TLC from us.
Cheers Sue |

ESMA 'Egyptian Society for Mercy to Animals'
Dear FB members we are pleased to announce that yesterday we handed out food for 500 horses, a mix of corn and bran. The numbers of horse owners turning up for the distribution is becoming more and more, and yesterday we had to change our location within Nazlat Al Saman 3 times to avoid the crowds. ESMA also took two of the worst ca...ses from their owners (with their permission) to be treated and stabled with the assistance of Yasmine Abd ElKader. The general condition of the horses is improving each week but still so many of them have wounds that the owners are not getting treated. We would like to thank our hard working volunteers who helped in the preperation of feed and the feeding day itself and we always encourage new volunteers to join us. Next feeding day will be either next Friday or Saturday. We would also like to thank anyone who has/is donating to this programme, without your donations we would not be able to continue.
Thank You
Susie Nassar
Horse Feeding Task Force Leader
-----------------------------------
Keep the good work up. Great Volunteers and work.
Thank You
