Location: The American Fondouk, Fez, Morocco
The BEVA Trust is looking is looking for 1 or 2 volunteers to travel to Fez in Morocco to provide support the work of the American Fondouk and provide CPD to their veterinary team.
The American Fondouk is a unique non-profit organization dedicated to providing people-to-people aid through offering free veterinary care for the hard-working donkeys, mules, and horses of Morocco. Treating working animals in the developing world is considered to offer a significant contribution towards safeguarding the livelihoods of the poorest and most vulnerable members of the community, both in the towns and in the countryside. Offering education in horse care and nutrition is also critical to improving the welfare of these animals and the welfare of the owners and their families who depend on them.
The American Fondouk requires one or two veterinarians with a keen interest in Ophthalmology to deliver CPD to veterinarians, students, and technicians. This will include discussing cases and running workshops. Prior experience of teaching is preferred but not essential.
Accommodation, meals and travel will be provided by BEVA Trust and host.
