My Nonprofit Reviews

I didn't exactly know what I had signed myself up for when I first arrived in Panama. But after spending a week traveling around Panama with the full-time volunteers, I cannot think of a more enjoyable way to spend my time. I wanted hands-on experience, and that is exactly what I got! There was not one moment spent without an animal by my side. Yet, one cannot compare Spay Panama to volunteer work in a typical, domestic practice. Spay Panama offers a look into a completely different side of Veterinary Medicine. Every single task must be completely quickly, efficiently, and above all, for the welfare of the animals. I now believe that one doesn't fully understand Veterinary Medicine before they spend twelve straight hours on their feet in 100 degree heat surrounded by defecating and vomiting animals whose lives you are trying to improve through spaying/neutering them. Spay Panama is comprised of the most compassionate, intelligent people I have ever met. I can only hope to see them again soon.
