VBB volunteers constitute a diverse spectrum of people and veterinary professionals from all over the world. We value our volunteers highly as they make VBB’s work possible. Whether you are a veterinarian or veterinary nurse looking to work in a VBB project overseas or someone with other skills that will help build VBB as an organisation, we need your help.

Comments from previous VBB project volunteers:
“I enjoyed working with local staff and other volunteers a lot and had a chance to get to know the country and the culture from a different point of view, not just like an ‘ordinary’ tourist.” Eva Pavelkova, Sikkim 2008 & Bylakuppe 2011.
“The hardest part of volunteering in Ladakh was just getting myself there (energetically and logistically). Once I was there, it was a wonderful adventure in an incredible place. The dedication and hard work of the VBB staff motivated me to particpate even more. They were very inspiring.” Mark Johnson, Ladakh.
“The program has real benefits for the community; the volunteers are well looked after, and the local program members are very friendly and helpful.” Helen Byrnes, Sikkim.
“It was the most wonderfully rewarding experience. The conditions were difficult and at time frustrating but to be able to use my veterinary skills to help the animals was incredibly rewarding.” Karyn Wesselingh, Saboo, India.
