Great to meet everyone yesterday, and thanks Leila, Thomas, and Mitch for running a great program! We look forward to seeing "Vet Exchange" up on Travel2Change soon :). As I mentioned, I am part of a growing company called Volunteer Forever, which allows travelers to start a crowdfunding campaign for their journey abroad. Please check it out at volunteerforever.com, or if you have any questions feel free to reach out at [masked] or [masked].
