When Bomman and Bellie went up on stage to receive an award for their dedication to animal welfare, they took with them a spotlight that outlines the workers who have devoted their lives to animal welfare. These heroes were celebrated at the #iamstrongest awards by Sharon Ply at Savera Hotel recently. We explore their stories, and how their daily work creates incremental change.
Joseph Sekar
At 6 am every day, Joseph Sekar has been feeding wild parakeets from his terrace for around 25 years. He wakes up at 4 am and cooks 75 kilograms of rice. He then readies the roof of his house, and lays out the planks and rice. Parakeets start trickling in, hanging on the wires and standing on the planks. Soon, the terrace is full.
