Vets to Cambodia 2017
Donation protected
Hi Everyone.
We are going to Cambodia!
Please help us to help the animals
In January 2017, a team of vets and vet nurses are travelling on a self-funded trip to Cambodia for 3 weeks. Please note that we will be funding our own air fares and accomodation.
All donations will go directly to the projects.
There will be 5 vets and 4 nurses in total. Included are staff from Lismore Central Veterinary Hospital (Dr Abbie, and nurses Kay and Jess), staff from Ballina Vetlove (Dr Toni), Aussie vets Dr Jemma and Dr Bronwyn, Italian vet Dr Giada, and 2 other fab nurses Amy and Emily.
The objective of the trip is to provide animal health care, neutering and rabies vaccination services to street dogs and cats. We will also offer free vet services to underprivileged communities and provide education to children on disease prevention, safety and hygiene, and animal welfare.
We will be partnering informally with organisations already working in Cambodia such as PPaws in Phnom Phen, Pagoda Cats on Siem Reap, and The Cambodian Children's Trust in Battembang.
Globally there is increasing recognition that human health, animal health and ecosystem health are inextricably linked (One Health Initiative, 2015). By helping our furry friends, we help the beautiful people of Cambodia too.
Our team would greatly appreciate any donations toward the purchase of veterinary supplies and educational materials. We are aiming to perform about 200 surgical procedures during our visit, and will thus need a lot of supplies!
Some examples of where your donation would go:
$5 would provide colouring pencils and educational resources for a child
$25 would provide a dog or a cat with 3 months of parasite control (fleas, ticks, mites and worms)
$50 would pay for a neuter operation to help reduce street dog and cat overbreeding
If you would like to support our work, please make a donation!
