On behalf of Exercising Kindness and our amazing friend Lynn, we are so excited to invite you to a "Walk & Talk" event this June - supporting both Nowzad and the wonderful Mane Chance Sanctuary. This afternoon will be all about celebrating the bond between humans and animals — especially our hardworking equine companions. Join our one and only Pen, alongside the incredible Jenny Seagrove and Peter Egan, for an afternoon of stories and fresh air in the beautiful Surrey countryside.
As we walk, Pen will be sharing insights into our equine welfare projects in Afghanistan. While many know us for our work with cats and dogs, our Working Animal Programme also serves as a critical lifeline for local communities. Ask him anything you like about this vital work or Maverick’s Donkey Sanctuary in Kabul, which currently provides lifelong respite and care for 21 animals (horses, donkeys and even a goat!). The sanctuary is named in honour of Maverick - one of the bravest and most stoic horses we ever had the privilege of rescuing.
Pen will also be chatting about our critical outreach work. Nowzad provide free clinics for local owners in Kabul, offering everything from wound care and hoof trimming to nutritional advice and the distribution of padded harnesses, helping Kabul’s working animals lead more comfortable working lives.
