This project is looking for veterinarians, veterinary nurses, veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, and experienced animal handlers, for its first volunteer veterinary trip of 2012, beginning on Saturday 18 February and ending on Sunday 4 March. The purpose of the volunteer veterinary trips is to provide a spay/neuter service for street dogs/cats and pets owned by low income families. The work takes place in a (jungle) city clinic and in the Amazon rainforest itself. During the jungle portion of the trip participants will have excursion opportunities and these are included in the trip fee. Other volunteer veterinary trip dates are available in 2012.
The trip costs £475 which covers project related transportation, lodging, all meals, and excursions. Participants stay in comfortable lodging in a jungle village plus an eco-lodge.
Although this project is posted on the Latin Lounge you need to visit the Volunteer Latin America website to find out how to request further information, including the application procedure.
