Program description: |
|
|
As a volunteer in Ghana on one of our Veterinary Placements, you can provide effective and practical help working on a variety of tasks. When you arrive at work on your first day, you will be assigned a supervisor who will be able to advise and support you during your placement, and of course our Projects Abroad staff are always on hand too.
In Ghana, Projects Abroad volunteers work in city clinics. In the mornings this involves dealing with pets. There are plenty of pets such as dogs and cats, but many of the patients are small back garden livestock such as goats and chickens.
In the afternoon there are sometimes opportunities to go out into the field to visit farms or even Accra Zoo. You will be involved in administering vaccinations, and observing and assisting in operations, laboratory work, post mortems and routine treatments. You'll learn how to handle different animals and will see examples of diseases and conditions that have almost been eradicated in developed countries.
