  • The Blue Cross of India 52Nd Annual Report 1St April 2015 to 31St March 2016 Blue Cross of India 1
    The Blue Cross of India 52nd Annual Report 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 Blue Cross of India 1 Report of the Governing Body for year ended March 31, 2015 The Members of the Governing Body are delighted to present the Annual Report and the accounts for the year ended March 31, 2016. The year has been truly exciting and fruitful with some amazing wins for the animals we are here to serve. We also suffered some major losses during the floods of December 2015 where thousands of animals died and suffered. We were fortunate in being able to save several thousand animals with the amazing help of our volunteers under the leadership of Dawn William. Needless to mention that well overa thousand people were helped by us with our volunteers taking them in our boat and inflatables and distributing water and food to them. Chennai came together during the floods like never before and it is sad that it took a disaster of this magnitude to show up what the people of Chennai could do if we all work together. The damage suffered to the infrastructure at our Guindy center is being slowly set right but it will take another six months at least to finish the work. The Platinum rating from GuideStar India - the highest rating for transparency for an NGO – was renewed this year by Guide Star India. The great help from the Marchig Animal Welfare Trust, VierPfoten, Bruno Memorial Trust, CHAL-USA and the Rukmini Devi Arundale Trust has helped us rise to the next level and we are deeply indebted to them.
