Along with the many assets that the students at St James Medical School bring to Anguilla, including their numerous additions to the economy, they also have partnered with the Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation to help make things better for the dogs and cats of the island!
In the past few months, medical students have assisted AARF volunteers in educational events focusing on spay/neutering; good pet care and a dog wash to educate the pet’s owners on the elimination of ticks and fleas and other parasites.
Recognizing the importance of controlling the births of unwanted puppies and kittens, the students of St James also donated a total of US$560 to AARF’s Spay & Neuter Project. A check was presented to Suzie Donahue, Chairman of the project; Sally Baumwell, Adoption Chair; and Joan Hill, AARF volunteer, on Monday, by the President of Student Government, Kurtis Carlson; Vice President, Delini Sivakumar; and Dean of Student Affairs, Bruce Davidson, of St James School of Medicine in Anguilla.
The Anguilla Animal Rescue Foundation is grateful to the students for this donation as well as for the many hours they have contributed – as volunteers – at community events and at the AARF shelter at Morlens Veterinary Clinic in Sandy Hill, and for fostering and adopting homeless dogs and cats. We look forward to a continued and growing partnership with the students and the school.
