🌡️ Staying Cool in Kabul! As many of you have been celebrating the second anniversary of Operation Ark: The Book with us this month, we’ve been reminded once again of how that story continues to live on far beyond the pages. While the book tells the story of what happened in 2021, the work it represents continues every single day here in Afghanistan. And on days like this, that means making sure our donkeys stay cool, comfortable, and happy during the intense summer heat. ❤️ Just look at Ch

It was complex, exhausting, and filled with hurdles, but together with an incredible team, we pulled off a miracle. For months, the search was on to find a safe haven for Ania, her family, and her 60+ rescued animals (including cows, chickens and goats!). Thanks to the unwavering support of the Nowzad family and Ania’s friends and family, a new home was finally found in the Kirovohrad region — far away from the frontlines of Kramatorsk. The clock was ticking. The whole evac team were waiting f

This time, from Angela, heading back into Kramatorsk yesterday.. “We honestly thought our last run into Kramatorsk would be our final one, but as long as we still have a window to get inside, we are going to take it. The situation on the ground is becoming increasingly difficult with each passing day. For the first time today, I’m wearing my body armour on the road. While the roads in and out present the biggest perceived danger right now, the reality is that Kramatorsk is in a very critical p
