My Nonprofit Reviews

Julie Seidman is an absolute Saint for the entire island of Taveuni, our residents and our furry friends. Her charity organization, Taveuni Animal Lovers, is the most incredible non-profit I've ever seen. She is assisted by her lovely husband Richard and she has spent years and years creating a structured program bringing in vets from all over the world to our island out of her own pocket and from money that she tirelessly raises....most importantly it's a program that works for the indigenous people of Taveuni-- to de-sex their animals free of charge. Her clinics are super effective because she goes directly to every village/district on the island so that locals are not burdened with having to bring their pets to a location which would be too costly and logistically unfeasible. Julie and her organization have made an enormous contribution to decreasing the amount of stray animals on the island that would otherwise typically die a slow and torturous death from starvation. In the 17 years i have lived here i have seen a huge difference. Julie also seems to know exactly where every suffering animal is on the island and often brings food and medical supplies to help these innocent cuties. She spends lots of time rescuing animals as well, getting them healthy and then finds perfect forever homes for them. We are grateful for the sacrifice and hard work that the Seidmans are doing for Taveuni and Fiji as a whole. Hats off to Taveuni Animal Lovers!
