BYU Veterinary Outreach trip to Peru, July 2018



Conner's Message

Hey Everyone,
This summer I am traveling to Peru to volunteer with Volunteers Around the World, in their FIRST EVER veterinary outreach. This trip will be coordinated in unison with students from BYU, UVU, Villanova, Texas A&M, and Arizona State. We will be spending several days providing care to many exotic animals and we will be running a spay and neuter clinic in Cuzco. I am asking for any donations to help fund my trip. Your donations will go towards my housing, airfare, and most of all, the vaccinations and materials needed to treat the animals. I am excited to further my future career in veterinary medicine and this trip will help tremendously. Anything helps and I appreciate the support. If you have any questions, please feel free to message me.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the BYU chapter as they lead a Veterinary Outreach trip to Peru this upcoming Summer! Volunteers will work in mobile clinics, where they will have the opportunity to take patient history, basic vital signs, shadow veterinarians, learn about the importance of different animals in locals lives and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at BYU will be opening up mobile veterinary clinics for local communities as well as assisting at local animal care facilities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of [May 14-18]
