The calm before the ?

We find ourselves again fast approaching our departure tomorrow Sunday 26th August. Our suitcases are bursting with new advertising banners, pamphlets, dog collars, medicines, surgical kits, sterile gloves, surgical drapes and more. As per usual not much room to squeeze any of our own stuff in!

We have our ever wonderful and amazing vet nurse Leesa who is going to keep tabs on FOUR vets again, namely Allison (me), Helen B and Helen P (B1 and B2) who have all volunteered on Tarawa previously, and we welcome new vet Annaliese who has worked in Samoa and other Pacific regions previously.

We are under instructions by Leesa to have pedicures to match our new red scrub tops. So we anticipate some fun and lots of sweat ahead. Some Facebook adverts this time hopefully will start us off well...time will tell.

Our main focus is still to continue to desex dogs and cats, and to provide some basic parasite medication and health care to the animals on Tarawa, Kiribati. We are looking forward to a busy and productive visit. Photos to follow.
