Week 3 - Murray Gillies

Unfortunately week 3 came to an end, and with it our stay in Kenya. For the last week we moved back to Ichimara and continued to work with the farmers through the local dairies; treating more animals and putting on more seminars. The work we did was great but there is definately a lot more work that can be done. Our final day had us driving to Nairobi for a visit to the veterinary college to re-unite with our Nairobi vet student friends before we boarded the plane for Paris and then home.
Without this amazing opportunity I never would have been able to see Kenya as I did. Never would have been able to make a difference, even though it was only small. Never would have been able to meet new friends halfway around the world. And never would have been able to see two of my most cherished heroes in Paris (Charlemagne and Joan of Arc). I can't thank anyone enough, the organizers, the co-ordinators, my travelmates and everyone who donated or helped out in anyway except to encourage them to continue their work and to encourage more people to get involved so that other students behind me can share in such a great experience. So again, thank you, and to the students going next year and in the future, brace yourselves because you are in for an experience of a lifetime!
