My first week has been amazing
by: ClemmieProgram: Veterinary Internship in South AfricaMy first week has been amazing – i’m having a brilliant time! It is all very well organised and as expected. The pre-departure pack was also very helpful, I felt well prepared when I arrived so was able to settle in quickly. I have already seen and done so many exciting things and i’m very excited for the weeks ahead!
