Join CVM on this exciting trip to the South Asia Himalayas! This trip will be hosted by one of CVM's long-term fieldworkers. If you are interested, please click "Express Interest" on the trip's online page for more details.

This trip is to a secure location, so for the safety of our field worker, we ask that volunteers do not post any details of this trip once approved or sent more information.

Due to lodging constraints, we can only accept three volunteers. We will generally take all of the same gender (based off of who is added to the roster first) or a couple.

Dates: October 10-19, 2025

Vet Work: Spay and neuter of dogs and cats in villages, as well as deworming and vaccination programs of large animals in villages. You will also be helping to train local animal health workers.

Ministry Work: You will show hope and love through your actions and relationships with each other and how you engage with the people you come in contact with. You will encourage local animal health workers in their faith, share testimonies, and participate in Bible studies in villages.

Volunteers Needed: At least one DVM (or more) is needed to lead the team. 2 vet techs and/or students welcome to join. Maximum team size is 3 people. No children are allowed. Volunteers with no vet experience may be considered depending on their skill set.

Cost: $1,180 (Does not include airfare or visa); All vet and pre-vet students will receive a scholarship toward your trip costs if you are involved in your local CVF. Volunteers age 70+ will need to purchase their own insurance outside of CVM. For this reason, these volunteers will see a slight decrease in the CVM trip cost.

Additional information: You will be hosted by local CVM fieldworker. You must be willing to stay in rustic village settings and eat local food. The trip length is 10 days, but there is an option to add a hiking experience or other tourist attraction before or after trip.
