Yesterday was World Rabies Day and in order to reiterate our commitment to fight it, we did a house-to-house vaccination campaign, reaching 50 dogs & cats in Zulia State, one of the regions of Venezuela where Rabies are endemic and which is really in need of accessible and widespread vaccinations.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic and also due to shortages of fuel in our country, this house-to-house vaccination was even more needed and welcomed by the neighbors who were eager to have their animals vaccinated. Our team visited the houses by foot, under extreme wheater conditions, but with a great sense of satisfaction for the task accomplished.
It is important to note that many animals in this area are roaming animals, which makes its a key population to protect so they dont become vectors of infection.
We are truly committed to repeating this experience as the need is great and it was welcomed by the community. All we need are the funds to repeat this, which is why we are kindly asking you to become part of this team by supporting our work and donating now to be able to repeat in the next weeks this experience.
Also, please consider sharing with friends, family and colleagues our initiative.
Thanks so much for being part of this incredible journey.
