The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust held a series of event to celebrate World Rabies Day. We participated in several radio programmes with question and answer sessions. These were very popular with the public. We also held 5 vaccination clinics in various parts of the country and these too were covered by radio and television so a great deal of awareness of Rabies was created. The programmes included how to recognise Rabies and what steps should be taken to avoid it and how to treat bites if you are unfortunate enough to be bitten . There was a great deal of interest created and we are receiving a lot of requests for vaccines from every corner of the country. We worked closely with The Department of Livestock Services, The Gambia Animal Welfare Advocates and Dr. Kebba Daffeh and it was great to see how much could be achieved with everyone working together.
