CURRENT MISSION The big one: To end the physical suffering for as many beings as possible. The small one: To take my vitamins every day. ABOUT ME My name is Jo. I am a vegan, artist, activist, veterinary nurse, farmer, scientist, dancer, teacher, and student. I live on a farm dedicated to ending the suffering of animals. We have astray animal recovery center and organic garden below Dharamsala, at the foothills of the Himalayas. I can host non-volunteers in my room for a night or two, or if you want to work with us or volunteer while you are here you can check out how to apply at peepalfarm.org/?p=volunteer We are a quiet place a little far from McLeod (you cannot trek to Triund and back from here in one day, it takes 1 hour by bus to get to McLeod). If you want to experience rural India, see a village, or hang out on a farm to decompress...this is a good fit :) I don't abide cruelty and seeing the destruction of nature makes me physically sick. Me llaman el desaparecido que cuando llega ya se ha ido volando vengo, volando voy deprisa deprisa a rumbo perdido cuando me buscan nunca estoy cuando me encuentran yo no soy el que está enfrente porque ya me fui corriendo más allá Me dicen el desaparecido fantasma que nunca está me dicen el desagradecido pero esa no es la verdad yo llevo en el cuerpo un dolor que no me deja respirar llevo en el cuerpo una condena que siempre me echa a caminar "The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one's work seriously and taking one's self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous." - Margot Fonteyn
