My Nonprofit Reviews

Having volunteered my spare time for many years to various NGO's across the Middle East region and further a field. I have had been fortunate to meet a lot of experienced and knowledgeable people from many walks of life.
Just over a year ago I moved to Iraqi Kurdistan, prior to my move I did some research into animal welfare and see if there was some way I could help. One name constantly appeared in my search, SPCA-I. I contacted them and they shared all their information and contacts with me. I have offered my services on a few of their missions now. I have helped them with transporting dog and cats back to the US.
The last mission they were on involved a TNR project, their second one, at the US Consulate and included the re-homing of 16 dogs and cats in the US.
It was a privilege and a pleasure to volunteer with SPCA-I and meet other volunteers from the US and Canada who unselfishly gave their time to both aspects of the mission.
In only 4 days 39 cats were trapped, sterilisied and return back onto the streets form where they came.
It was evident to me that without the forward thinking, immaculate organisation of all the logistics of the operations, supplying meds, equipment and resources that all the aspects of the mission would not have been as successful as it was. Even when airline companies let them down, SPCA-I resolved the problem with little or no stress to their volunteers and more importantly the animals in their care.
I would not hesitate to volunteer with SPCA-I again. A truly well organised and successful experience for all concerned.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your missions.
Colin Ball.
