Worldwide Veterinary Service is a registered UK charity (number

1100485) which supplies veterinary resources and aid to animal

charities in developing countries. These include volunteer vets,

support staff and medical supplies. We match the interests of our

volunteers (vets and non-vets) to the requirements of our associated

charities.

>Dear Kim,

>Its exciting to hear we shall be in your publication, thank you!

>

>World wide Veterinary Services were started by a group of young

>veterinarians with the aim of co ordinating vets who want to give

>their time and expertise with the charities who need their time and

>expertise. They set themselves up at about the same time we did, and

>I really cannot praise them enough. They really are the most

>wonderfully caring group of people, and even when we need telephone

>help, they always find a vet with the appropriate expertise to help

>us through.

>I think it is wonderful that young people are prepared to pay their

>own airfares and work so hard while they are with us.They also bring

>out a lot of drugs and equipment to help us and several of them have

>become involved with the School Sponsorship Scheme and helped the

>village children too.

>They have helped my sister Stella, with the Chimps too when she has

>needed assistance.

>Their website is WWW.wvs.org.uk and the founder is a chap called

>Luke Gamble who can be contacted on <luke We get a

>different group of vets each time, but they are well informed about

>the project, local culture and how to behave etc. by the

>organisation before they arrive. It is a well organised charity.

>I can highly recommend them.

Something to think about: We believe that the Golden Rule

applies to animals, too. We don't accept the prevailing notion

that " people come first' " or that " people are more important than

animals. " Animals feel pain and suffer just as we do, and it is

almost always humans making animals suffer and not the other way

around. Yet in spite of how cruelly people behave towards animals

-- not to mention human cruelty to other humans -- we are supposed to

believe that humans are superior to other animals. If people want

to fancy themselves as being of greater moral worth than the other

creatures on this earth, we should begin behaving better than they

do, and not worse. Let's start treating everyone as we would like

to be treated ourselves.
