April 22, 2005 -- Noah's Ark Veterinarians International (NOAV), a newly formed Israeli/US Veterinary Non profit Relief Organization, is preparing to set up a fully-equipped, modern veterinary hospital in Sri Lanka in response to appeals from the Sri Lankan health and animal authorities. NOAV, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the Veterinary Services of Sri Lanka, is also initiating a program to address the immediate outbreak of Human Rabies due to the conditions following the Tsunami disaster. NOAV volunteers and funding will be assisting in projects dealing with the care and medical relief for wildlife and domestic animals in the area.
According to the Sri Lankan Minister of Agriclulture and animal and livestock, more than 30000 Sri Lankan families depend on livestock to generate their houshold income hence the urgent need for global assistance in resupplying farm livestock, and housing, feeding and medical care for the existing animals that support the regional economy.
NOAV International was founded by Israeli Veterinarian, Dr. Eytan Kriener of "the House of Veterinarian Doctors" Macabim, Israel, in response to the enormous devastion brought by the tsunami in East Asia. Initiating Noah's Ark Veterinarian's International relief organization (NOAV) Dr. Kreiner has funded the Sri Lankan Tsunami Project soley through donations from private individuals and leading Israeli corportae sponsors. El-Al Israel Airlines and Flying Cargo have pledged to fly the hospital equipment food and medicines as far as Bangkok, Thailand, Nestle Purina donations of pet food are stocked at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel, along with medical supplies from Sar-El Medical. The IDF Medical Corps, hospitals and health organizations are all contributing medical equipment. But the mission is still a work in progress.
To complete NOAV International's medical inventory and logistical requirements to reach Sri Lanka, we are issuing an urgent appeal to all aid and relief organizations, philanthropic institutions and individuals. NOAV is urgently seeking additional equipment and further sources of funding to complete this mission.
NOAV needs to raise $75000 to cover the following expenses:

-Funds to move the cargo from Bangkok to Sri Lanka
-Volunteer Veterinarians to rotate in one to two month sessions on location
