Send Sierra to Central America World Vets
My Travel Story
I will be volunteering as a veterinary technician/student.
Currently I am a student at Miller Motte college, an AVMA approved veterinary technician school. I am in my second year of education and my graduation date is July 1st 2015. As many of you know, animals are my passion and being able to help them in any way would be a dream come true. I’ve wanted to volunteer for World Vets for over 3 years now.
The mission, vision, values, and goals of World Vet is something I hold dear to my heart.
“At the core of World Vets’ values is the belief that all animals deserve kindness and compassion. Although World Vets’ programs often focus on improving the lives of large populations of animals on a global-scale, we never lose sight of how critically important it is to provide a profound level of kindness and excellent care to each individual animal. World Vets also believes strongly in the One Health concept in which the health of animals, people and the environment are inextricably connected to one another and thus we strive to not only help animals but also people and the communities in which they live.
World Vets exists to improve the lives of animals worldwide. We get things done with minimal bureaucracy and maximum impact. We value collaboration and partnerships with local partners to maximize efforts to improve animal welfare on a global scale. World Vets’ staff thrives in a dynamic and ever-changing environment and understands that growth and improvement require adaptability, flexibility, and innovation. We recognize and embrace diversity and cultural differences. World Vets operates with a high level of integrity and we always strive to do the right thing and be true to our word.”
When I was 19 years old I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition called fibromyalgia. This has taken a lot from me, but through all of my medicaiton, doctor appointments, and hospital visits, i have found that my passion for animals is the only thing that has ever fully took my mind off the pain that i feel daily. When I'm medicating, feeding, helping or even playing with animals I don't feel pain. My passion for animals is saving my own life, and i want to repay them as much as I can and while there is tons to do in my own country, going somehwere that needs help greatly with animal care-- is something that I feel like I need to do.
Volunteering with World Vet would be a life changing experience but it something i can’t do with out the help of others and any help would be greatly appreciated for a life time.
