Varanasi

In 2010, Eileen Weintraub, Founding Director of Help Animals India, a well respected USA-based NGO, visited Varanasi. She had received requests from India and around the world to help Varanasi’s suffering street animals, and she wanted to see the situation first-hand. During her visit, she saw many street animals suffering. Injured dogs and donkeys. Dead cows on the side of the road. Virtually nowhere to turn for help. Something had to be done! Eileen teamed up with Praveen Ohal, Director of HOPE and Animal Trust, a successful animal welfare organization headquartered in Ranchi, to establish Varanasi for Animals that very same year! Together, they rescued a sweet pup during Eileen’s visit. Syam was eventually adopted by Sundalip Sengupta, who later became a Field Manager with Varanasi for Animals.
