"Supporting animal health is important to me because animals contribute so much to our world! As someone who has worked in a small animal clinic, (and has pets myself), I have already seen the amazing impacts that pets can have on the lives of their owners. In travelling to Ghana, I know that I will learn more about how livestock health is vital to the economy, and I will be part of a team that is providing support to humans through the health of their animals." – Sandra
