Such a rewarding experience
October 15, 2022by: Jamie Ondayko - United StatesProgram: South Africa 4-Week ExperienceI had the most influential time during my 4-weeks in South Africa. The staff were so helpful, at Lory and Running Wild. I appreciate this experience so much! I would recommend this program to anyone that is wanting to expand their veterinary experience. The labs, lectures, and field work were very unique and extremely informative.
