What’s been happening at the India hub?
This month we have been focusing on the development of a range of new programs to be delivered in the new year including programs related to animal safety and welfare, environmental education and others. We have been busy having meetings with a range of local organisations and experts to aid in the development and delivery of these programs and are excited to be making more connections in our community.
