Our FinnDomingo volunteer programme is always about supporting selected Chilean animal welfare organizations – but also about learning from each other and promoting mutual understanding.
At the end of October 2024, German veterinarian Aileen from Lower Saxony flew to Chile and spent three weeks as a FinnDomingo volunteer working with a team of Chilean veterinarians who specialize in mobile spay and neuter campaigns.
The team founded the organization EMA (Enemigos del Maltrato Animal = Enemies of Animal Abuse), whose purpose is to offer dog castrations at a reasonable price while maintaining high medical veterinarian standards. Therefore, a broader section of society can rely on quality with affordable services.
The cooperation between Aileen and the team members of EMA facilitated a mutual exchange of practices and techniques. EMA’s work, however, is impeccable and deserves full recognition!
FinnDomingo e.V. submitted a highly complimentary assessment of EMA to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Universidad de Concepción, whose Clínica Veterinaria relies on cooperation with reputable local veterinary teams as part of the training internships for students. FinnDomingo e.V. has established a reputation in the Clínica Veterinaria as an objective and experienced partner, whose information is valued and utilized.
