Veterinarians Without Borders' #IDW203 Webinars - Feb. 8 & Feb. 10

Posted Jan 25th, 2023 in Stories, Kenya, News, VETS, Volunteer Stories

International Development Week (IDW), launched by Global Affairs Canada, is an annual week dedicated to celebrating Canadians' contributions to international development efforts that are creating a more peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous world. This year's IDW ran from February 5 to 11, 2023 and focused on "Go for the Goals", a nod to Canadians' efforts to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

As part of #IDW2023, Veterinarians Without Borders/Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Canada (VWB/VSF) hosted two webinars focused on building a more sustainable future. Both of these programs are generously supported by Global Affairs Canada.
