To assist in our ambitious project to
spay as many strays we hope too, is no easy feat as each surgical procedure
requires a lot of time and concentration to be done properly. As such, Noah’s
Ark has opened its doors to both vet students and volunteer veterinarians from
Singapore, Malaysia and other countries. These vet students come in as part of their
internship to assist Raymund in diagnosing the daily vet work and cases that
pass through the clinic.
Volunteer veterinarians donate their
free time to assist in more complicated veterinarian procedures. We are very
appreciative for both such contributions as their efforts have been most
beneficial for our programs and to all our animals. We know that such hard work
and dedication by both these groups is due to their common love and compassion
for the animals.

Kaylen and Wey Yin are such two intern
veterinarians from Hong Kong and Penang. They believed that they have benefited
from their internship with Noah’s Ark. They were able to practice many of their
skills on actual animals with guidance from both Raymund and other vets and
they believed that they have grown in terms of skills, mindset and direction as
young veterinarians.

Kaylen says, “Uncle Raymund is such a
patient teacher not only in surgical skills but also in life.” “I have
learnt so much from him as he is both wise and inspiring.” They are also determined in becoming better
veterinarians so that they will apply the most appropriate procedure for the
animals to minimize any discomfort. Wey
Yin says, “I admire how Uncle Raymund cares for animals as much as people. His
life story shows that he knows without determination, one would never achieve
or attain one’s goal.”
They appreciate Raymund for
demonstrating to them the various spay techniques. He displayed much patience
despite their sometimes clumsy attempts, encouraging them to persevere and
rewarding their hard work by
cooking delicious meals during their attachment.

They believe that their experience at Noah’s
Ark was extremely rewarding and do hope more people will be inspired to do what
they have done. By partaking in the important job of sterilizing the stray
population, they have been able to make a difference to the lives of these
animals.
