No time to wait

Photo essay: Vafa Animal Shelter's residents face harsh winter

Dear Friends: Some of you may be wondering why I've been missing here on Iranian.com -- what happened to my photo essays? Well, as most of you know I learned about Vafa Animal Shelter in Hashtgerd right here in Iranian.com and have been very busy helping them in every way I can. My camera has been collecting dust... but I'm happy that I get to use it every time a vafa dog enters SF Bay Area. Maryam Walsh, one of the many supporters of Vafa who reside abroad, recently returned from Iran and she shared these amazing pictures she managed to capture while visiting the shelter. She wrote: "I had a great trip to Vafa visiting with the great people there, and of course my many four-legged friends. I just wish I could help a little bit more this time by providing them with funds to build more enclosed shelters and to provide more blankets suitable for the very cold weather. For example, Vafa needs to add more enclosed shelters to protect the dogs from the wind, rain and snow. It is getting colder every day and there is no time to wait." Maryam's note inspired me to contact the team in Iran and ask them for their wish list for 2012--which I am including here. Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures and Vafa Shelter's story with all your friends and family -- especially in Iran. With Love and Respect, Faranak Ravon

501c status and more...

by kfravon on Sun Jan 01, 2012 03:23 PM PST

Due to current situation between Iran and US/other countries, we have no choice but to wait for the permit to go through. 
In the meanwhile, if you like to help, please email us "offline" and let us know where you reside.....thank you

501(c)(3) organization

by Mamane-Omid on Sun Jan 01, 2012 02:48 PM PST

Dear Faranak,

Thank you very much for your post. I'm a supporter of Vafa and was wondering if you could post updates to OFAC application status as well as if Vafa will also qualify as a section  501(c)(3) organization under IRS regulations?

If you need help with the application for this qualfication, please let us know on this thread. Thanks to IC.com's services we can stay in touch by following your post.

Keep up the good work for these helpless criters.
