Veterinary Project in Mexico

From the day I began booking my trip to the last day of my stay, GVI staff has been very professional. I was very impressed with the passion our base staff had for the projects we got to work on. Their enthusiasm for the children/animals of Playa del Carmen was so positive!!! I learned a lot & recommend GVI to anyone who is looking to help the world!!

GVI was an amazing experience through which I made life long friends and amazing memories. I really experienced the culture of Mexico, and the local people were so lovely. Working at cocos was amazing I got to meet so many different animals and learn so much and I loved working with such a passionate organisation. The staff were very supportive and made me feel very at home and I will definitely be doing another project soon.

I came to experience the vet project. I currently work at a vets and wanted to see the difference in the working environment. It is very very different, a real eye-opener I hope to take my experience home and educate the others in the practice of the good resources and plenty of staff compared to here in Mexico. However, they still manage to conduct between 20-30 operations in a morning without the loss of 1 animal it's amazing. On a small negative point I understand the accommodation is basic but it really needs some maintenance done on the home for health and safety reasons and basic should still include hot water as working with animals all day you need hot shower to ensure no tics or fleas are brought home with you.
