We are making plans to go to Ethiopia for 2 weeks in June where Doc will conduct several veterinary clinics in the rural areas of Ethiopia, paricularly de-worming clinics for the cows, goats and mules. We will also do other veterinary and agriculture acitivities to help advance their farming situations. Also, plan to work with the women and children, to help them develop products (scarves, jewelry, etc) to market in the U.S.
So, please register now and become part of this activity to help a people who are so in need. Come out for the morning and have fun with family and friends.
