This is not officially a global engagement opportunity yet, but meets the criteria. Eileen traveled to Guatemala with FARVets, where she and 5 other students (from Cornell University) worked with Fantasma Animal Rescue to sterilize dogs and cats from the community. Other operations such as mass removals and hernia repairs were also performed as needed. Many were privately owned, some were stray animals. The students performed anesthesia and monitoring, were the primary surgeons, and also helped recovery the animals. Six students were overseen by 2 veterinarians. The animals were also vaccinated, treated for fleas, etc.
