Passionate About:

furthering my veterinary career path, gaining hands on experience, and making an impact on my community by traveling to Cusco, Peru on July 2022 to volunteer in a veterinary outreach internship. We will be working under local veterinarians in the community to help care for the animals in Cusco. I’m eager to volunteer my time into helping the people of cusco and their beloved pets. I am eager to develop a higher understanding of global health through this volunteer experience!

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.
