Editor's Notes
- how your organisation started, its goals, programmes, etc why you do what you do (passion, motivation, etc), share some of your experiences, challenges, and most importantly, how do you advocate for your cause within certain constraints
- Everytime I present this, or talk about SOSD, after the gawking ends , the most common question I get next, is “how” How did SOSD do it?
- We hold adoption drives Aim to tell a story
- When I first started, I was told that saving stray dogs is too low to be associated with my professional work.
