Cal Poly Pomona Veterinary Outreach trip to Peru, June 2020



Sofia's Message

Hi everyone and Happy New Year! 2020 is starting off to be exciting as I will be taking a veterinary outreach service trip with Volunteer Around the World to Cusco, Peru to provide medical care to animals while gaining valuable experience in preparation for my application to veterinary school in the fall. Since I was 5 years old, I have wanted to be a veterinarian and with your help, you can be part of me seeing my dream come true! If you are able to donate towards my service trip, I would be deeply grateful. Any donations also go towards the purchase of medications and supplies for the needy animals we will be working with in Peru. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support and generosity! Love, Sofia

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Cal Poly Pomona 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 Cal Poly Pomona 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 2019, VAW 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 February 17-21, 2020
