Our veterinary project focus on domestic animals especially Dogs and cats. There are not much veterinary workers in Ghana or not much people are interested in veterinary work. Our veterinary volunteers play a critical role in the healthcare of animals breeding and welfare. This project is suitable for students on break or holiday makers looking at giving care and support to animal services.
Veterinary volunteers help in the day to day activities of caring for the animals focusing on the special need of each animal They assess animals for any signs of infection and also help to keep their medical history as well as assessing their behavior.
Volunteers help to diagnose animals to identify any disease and also identify any injuries. Volunteers also help to administer medication and perform any surgical procedure as spaying and orthopedic surgeries.
Volunteers help to educate pet owners about special conditions of their animals. They also help in training of the animals. Taking dogs for walks etc.
At the veterinary center volunteer will work with other staff taking care of other house hold animals like pig, cows, sheeps etc. Volunteers will be doing home visit sometimes to help in dog traning.
This is a very fun rewarding learning experience for all volunteers.
Volunteers are advice to come with appropriate working costume and any protective wear as well as any anti allergy medication that they may need.
Volunteers also go on medical outreach to the schools in and around the camp to give health education to the community.

How Do I Get to the Placement?
For the first day, volunteers will be taken to the school. Our staff will show volunteers how to get to the placement, the direction to take, the particular vehicle, and the amount to pay for the transportation. This is repeated the next day if the volunteer thinks he still can't make it until the volunteer can make his/her way. The same is done for the return to the homestay after the work.
