We love animals. Lau is a cat-lady in the making and W really wants a puppy even though he won’t admit it. We also love people. People are the best (most of the time).
We asked around for ideas about volunteering in the area, as we are extremely lucky and it’s great to give back, and this is what our friends came up with:
- The website Volunteer in UAE is a great starting point.
- If you like car races, you can volunteer as a marshal with the Abu Dhabi Touring Club.
To help those less fortunate or in distress:
- Medecins Sans Frontieres
- Abu Dhabi Cause Connect
- Operation Smile UAE
- Red Crescent / Red Cross
- Blood Bank Donations
- Sheikh Khalifa Medical City
- Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation
- EWAA – Shelter for Women and Children
- Takatof Abu Dhabi
- Flea 4 Charity
- The Choice to Change
To help animals in distress:
- Sandy Paws
- Feline Friends Abu Dhabi
- Abu Dhabi Animal Shelter
- K9 Friends
- Al Rahma Society of the UAE
- Emirates Wildlife Society – Worlwide Fund for Nature
- Animal Action Abu Dhabi
- Adopt Me
Thanks for the tips! I’ve been looking for places to volunteer :) thebhardwajlife.com
