We aim to teach the next generation how to care for and value the animals in our environment.
Since 2005, our shelter has grown from just a couple of buildings to a fully developed hospital complex.
TOLFA wouldn’t be able to achieve so much without our hardworking and dedicated staff
To really change the future for animals in our local area and ultimately the world, TOLFA understands that we need to help the next generation to see animals; and how amazing they are; through different eyes.
If you are a school or college interested in making a better world for animals and creating awareness on rabies safety for your students, we want to hear from you!
As part of our Animal Welfare Education Project, TOLFA will come to your school and teach a lesson that initially will last approximately one hour. The main focus of our teachings are:
If you are a teacher and are interested in inviting TOLFA to your school for a lesson, please send an email to: adminindia@tolfa.in. including your name, designation, school name, address and contact number along with your request.
Unfortunately we can’t accept invitation from students themselves. Firstly you will need to get permission from you class teacher who will then most like need to get permission from the Head teacher. The invitation will need to come from the teacher themselves.
Our lessons are most suited to children aged 9- 13 years but children that are younger or older will still get something from the teachings.
Yes we can definitely provide you with letters of commendation from schools that we have previously visited. These are available on request.
It is neccessary to make an appointment first before visiting with bigger groups. We don’t encourage visits during the monsoon as the grounds are often slippery and waterlogged.
Please send us a message on our contact form with a couple of dates that you were hoping to visit with your school and we will let you know when would be suitable.
Although in one lesson, the children will gain a lot of knowledge that they did not previously know, several repeated visits would be more beneficial to build on the information that was initially taught. We have a workbook with lots of activities that can either be taught by TOLFA or we are also happy to go through it with class teachers so that they can teach the lessons.
No, unfortunately not. TOLFA is a working veterinary hospital with many potential hazards which means that it is not a suitable environment for children to volunteer.
