San Cosme and Bonfil, Mexico – 2009
This was a great 2 week campaign on the Yucatan Peninsula. With the assistance of the Pan-American Medical Mission Foundation the first week was spent in San Cosme, a Mayan village about 75km out of Cancun. The second week Vet Ventures volunteers moved to Bonfil, a suburb of Cancun to finish up a very successful trip with our host CANDi International.

Requena, Peru – 2009
Our most remote location to date. Our Vet Ventures crew flew into Iquitos, Peru, where we met up with Peruvian veterinarians from Amazon CARES. It was then a 20 hour boat trip up the Amazon River to Requena, Peru. They had never had a veterinarian in Requena, so the group was a welcome site for the community. We set up in a school classroom, just off the market and performed surgery on 300 animals in a 10 day period.

American Samoa – 2007
Our return to American Samoa. During 3 weeks we performed surgery on over 700 animals with both a hospital as well as village visits. The village visits were a great success, going out into the community and setting up field-hospitals to increase the impact on the area.
