Passionate About:

Continuing my lifelong dream of becoming a veterinarian is very exciting to me and I am even more thrilled to be doing that during my travel to Peru this Summer 2022 to volunteer in the local community of Cusco. We will be helping licensed veterinarians serve the animals of the community to better their health and quality of life which in turn benefit their owners and other citizens in the community. I wish to leave an impact in Cusco that lasts after my departure through educating the owners on how to properly care for their pets and showing them the same compassion I would in my own community.

University of Houston Veterinary Internship to Peru, July 2022



Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Houston chapter as they lead a Veterinary Outreach Internship to Peru this upcoming Summer! Interns 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 Global at the University of Houston 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 interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2019, VAW Global treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. 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 April 11-24, 2022.
