VAW Global- University of Houston Chapter

Had a wonderful, life-changing experience volunteering in and around Cusco, Peru alongside two great veterinarians Dr. Joel and Dr. Carlos. We deeply thank for the opportunity to participate in such an enriching and fulfilling venture that will last us for the rest of our lives. We learned and underwent so many thrilling things and are all so proud of the work we accomplished together with the guidance of the VAW Global Team. Thank you Cusco!👩‍⚕️🐶🐱🦜🤗

Happy Birthday to our Beautiful Vice President Jackie Pacheco!!! We wish you a happy birthday and are so grateful for all you do/have done! 🐶🤩

We are supporting a transitional Refugee shelter in Lviv, a city in western Ukraine (around 70 kilometers from the border with Poland). This place is one of the last remaining large cities that remains somewhat safe. Through close collaboration with couple of a brave and dedicated professionals, we strive towards raising resources so we can continue providing:
👉 Shelter and beds for more than 35 in Lviv and incoming refugees.
👉 Food for about 1000 people per day at the train station.
👉Support our Doctors and refugees who have traveled more than 24 hours standing up in a train to escape the conflict areas.
👉 Bus transportation to Romania.
