I have been lucky enough to travel to some very remote locales as a veterinary volunteer. This is my favorite kind of travel, because it represents total immersion in the community and the opportunity to make the world a better place. Veterinary missions typically have several common themes:
- Free basic health care for the animals in impoverished communities
- Education and cooperation with local veterinarians and students
- Awareness education on animal welfare issues for the next generation
- Improvement of human health/livliehood through animal health care
- Creation of strong friendships and bonds that occur when we struggle for a common cause
