Hello,
My name is Rachel Stadnyk and I am a second year veterinary student at the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
This spring 2010 4 classmates along with myself are planning a trip to Eastern Africa through Global Vets. I was interested to see if you have any applicable animal health projects that we could be of any assisstance in.
If you do please e-mail me back. We are interested in all aspects of vet medicine but mainly want to help make agriculture more sustainable in Africa and help educate the people. We are looking to set up a few projects, so we would be willing to commit to about 2 weeks.
Thank you for your time!
Sincerely,
Rachel Stadnyk
