Intro to our teams

Just a quick introduction to our Global Vets team of 7 vet students:

Team A: Angela Chen, Ali Litchfield, Julia Neer, & Reagan Shalapay
will be staying in Uganda for 7 weeks starting May 8, 2008



Alison Litchfield is a 23 year old veterinary student/bachelor of science graduate from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She enjoys long walks in the park and Ugandan men, though her 2-3 calls a day from her boyfriend keep her from straying too far. She is also allergic to all of Africa.

Reagan Shalapay is a 22 year old veterinary student from Athabasca, Alberta, Canada. Don't let her sweet blond exterior fool you as she’s a vixen underneath. She also brought the plague from Canada to Africa.

Julia Neer is a 26 year old veterinary student/ bachelor of science graduate from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. She stays attached to Western cuisine through her daily fix of chocolate bars.

Angela Chen is a 23 year old veterinary student/ bachelor of science graduate from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Angela has learned many valuable skills from both the projects as well as the local men including important “hands-on” woodcarving skills.


Team B: Vivien Leung, Jamie Rothenburger, & Maria Sung
will be in Tanzania for 3 weeks and in Uganda for 7 weeks starting May 7, 2008



Maria Sung: Harkening from Vegreville, Alberta, this Asian and honarary Ukrainian is ecstatic about finally landing in Africa, a lifelong dream destination. She will be much appreciated by her fellow traveler's as a mosquito magnet.

Jamie Rothenburger: This prairie girl from Saskatchewan has never left North America before now. She can't wait to see and experience Africa for the first time. Although an avid cowgirl, she can't wait to trade in her trusty steed for a camel ride on the Serengheti.

Vivien Leung: This world traveler and African junky is thrilled to be returning to Africa again. Although excited to see the local wildlife, arguably her most anticipated sighting will be her beloved goats (& those who own them).
