The For The Love of Dogs evening is an occasion where people can combine their love for animals and music for a good cause. The evening is a fundraiser aiming to help the many helpless street dogs in the capital. Part of the funds will go to Mankind for Animals, a club where people are devoting time and money to help dogs.[break]
Shristi Singh Shrestha, animal activist, says, “We’ll be donating 30% of the proceeds to Mankind for Animals, and utilizing the rest to run health camps for street dogs and build cemented water containers for all animals. In the health camps, we’ll administer vaccinations and check dogs for injuries. If the cases are serious, we’ll shift them to our main centre. We’ll particularly be concentrating on the area of Swoyambhu as there are a lot of dogs that really need help.”
“This musical event is also an awareness generating program for the educated society about the plight of street dogs. We’re also acknowledging the work done by Mankind for Animals. The artists are contributing their time for this good cause,” says Swarnim Lama, Event Manager at KJC.
Among the artists performing on the evening are Joint Family International, Subani Moktan, Axata Singh, Prajwal Mukhiya, The Say Project and Dev Lama.
Starting from six in the evening, the tickets for the musical event are priced at Rs 500 per person.
