Beyond the clinic: Volunteering and vaccinating in Kenya

This summer, AAHA’s interim CEO, Guylaine Charette, DVM, traveled to Africa to participate in a volunteer trip with the Alliance for Human Animal Coexistence. During her time in Kenya, she vaccinated dogs, cats, and donkeys against rabies, and while the act of vaccinating animals was nothing new to her, the rest of her experience was eye-opening. Here, she shares her tale of volunteering (and offers inspiration to those interested in putting their passion and skill to similar use).
