BACKGROUND (edited for length):
beta.team [at] hotmail.com -- Yesterday a large explosion was reported as targeting a US embassy vehicle. Footage aired on all the major news networks -- the smoke, destruction and burning vehicle. There has been a drastic increase in bombings over the last month... Lebanon is without a President since November and elections have been delayed more than ten times.
This does greatly affect BETA, but we are continuing our vital work here. Currently we care for more than 350 dogs and cats in our shelters, as well as provide boarding services, spaying and neutering of stray and feral animals, and rescue of many animals in need... We have no plans to stop.
However, bombings and insecurity make things very difficult for our operations, and specifically our ability to fundraise within Lebanon... Due to instability and concern in the coming months, some of our donors are not able to give as much or, unfortunately, anything. Fundraising events are less successful, need to be postponed, or canceled... In times like this we need to reach out to the international community.
