Dibya was instrumental in setting up HART originally and has been a staunch supporter all along, helping to keep things running smoothly in a fair and honest way, as is beholden of a registered charity.

     Well-respected in Pokhara, Dibya was born and brought up in the area, and is also Chairman of the Pumdi Bhumdi Tourism Development Committee. Dibya has lived in a rural community all his life, so has been brought up to understand animals.

DIBYA KUMAR BARAL

Chairman 

      Dibya supports HART in an entirely voluntary capacity, putting every effort into its success.

  Juliette Cunliffe, one of HART's three original Founders, is now the only one supporting our charity, HART.  When she still lived in the UK, she was UK Co-Ordinator of Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre in Nepal, and also was Secretary and later Chairman of a UK Animal charity which funded projects in Nepal.

     Juliette is a well-known and highly respected canine author, whose life has almost exclusively revolved around dogs. She is an international championship show judge, officiating world-wide, but she has an empathy not only with pedigree dogs, but mongrels too, and her love of animals in general knows no bounds.

JULIETTE CUNLIFFE

Founder

     She supports HART in an entirely voluntary capacity and is anxious to see the charity succeed.

   Dr Mohan joined HART in November 2010, following in the footsteps of our previous vet, Dr Hem Awasthi who helped to train him up to a high standard. We are indebted to the dedication of both gentlemen.

  Qualifying at the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science at Rampur, Chitwan, Dr Mohan was highly recommended by his mentors. His internship report was on comparative advantages between right flank laparotomy and ventral midline celiotomy of ovariohysterectomy in bitches.

Rom Prakash lives on the premises.

PUNYE PRASAD PAUDEL

Office Manager & Vet Technician

Punye is HART's most recent official employee, but for many months beforehand he helped doing voluntary work, especially in the book-keeping department. We took him on in a salaried position when HART did its enormous rabies eradication programme in the late summer of 2011, as we quickly realised we needed someone out in the field every day to keep accurate records.

Punye is qualified as a Maths Teacher and Accountant, but is also a qualified Vet Technician, something he initially did of his own free will to assist the animals in his local village.

HELEN JOHNSON

 A firm supporter of our charity, Helen enthusiastically heads our Team in Australia.

She is a qualified human nurse and also a vet nurse, coming from a veterinary family background. Helen has already spent two spells volunteering at HART, so knows what it's like at 'ground level'.

     Helen can be contacted via email at hart.australia@gmail.com 

     She is always pleased to hear from anyone who would like to help HART in some way.

LAURA DORFMAN

She believes in trusting, loving relationships with animals and spends most of her time trying to educate people about peaceful training methods, especially for dogs. Laura is just finishing a photo-training book on shelter dogs.  She lives with three rescue dogs.

 HELEN BELL

In 2011 we welcomed ROBERT GREAVES to our HARTeam UK. His wide knowledge about 'all things canine' brings additional expertise to our team of supporters. 

 Helen Bell has long supported animal charities in Nepal, including HART, and heads our Team in the UK.

     She is a highly successful dog breeder and exhibitor, with a special interest in Tibetan breeds. Helen also runs a grooming parlour, so is always on hand to give advice regarding coat and skin conditions, something afflicting so many dogs in Nepal.
