Can you tell us any two things that you like about Proud Indian?

The cause - 'Feeding the strays' seems insignificant or unnecessary to so many people so to have events around it & be able to spread the word & it's important is a great initiative by Proud Indian.

People/Leads. The interactions with Sameedha have been comfortable & as a volunteer I feel I am being taken care of during the events.

Which was your most favorite event till now?

As I have only been part of Feeding the Strays events since the beginning, that would be my pick!:)

How has your involvement with Proud Indian benefited you or your community in terms of increasing quality of life or satisfaction?

My mom always thought me to never say no to anyone for food or water & I always only considered it was meant for humans. Feeding the paws/voiceless cause has resonated with me & made me realize that the strays are part of our society just like humans & as humans being the most developed/privileged species, it's our responsibility to take care & be there for them as much as we can. Being a corporate employee, it's fulfilling to be a part of a social cause.
