highlands amongst a fascinating community of Tibetan Buddhist monks. The Sera

Datsang (Monastery) is one of the world's largest monastic complexes. This pilot

dog sterilisation, health care and anti-rabies program will operate from 28th

March- 5th April 2009. Accommodation and food will be provided in a comfortable

guest house nearby.

Previous experience working in field camps in developing communities preferred

but not essential. Vets: at least 2 years experience in small animal practice

and proficiency in canine sterilisation surgeries. Vet Nurses: at least 1 year's

nursing tasks, place i.v. catheters, monitor and maintain i.v. anesthesia and
