    Typisk dag

    Information given in the Time Commitment session of this program are only orientative and they are not binding: the free day can be on any day of the week (may be on the weekend, maybe not) and the working time is usually per shift.

    The clinic is open to the public from 9AM to 1PM and then again from 3PM to 6PM, but surgeries are held only during the morning. So your working time will depend on the tasks that are agreed:

    • If you operate, you shold work in the morning. Please be aware that sometimes surgeries are numerous and need to be completed during the lunch time
    • If you don't operate, you will work during the time when the clinic is open, up to the limit of 6 hours a day.
    • You can also be asked to provide consultations in our dog shelter. In these cases you will work in one of the shifts: from 7 am to 12:30 pm or from 12:30 pm to 7 pm.

    In our experience, veterinary doctors are always very motivated and work long hours by their own choice. It is true that they really make a difference to the animals that arrive at the clinic and this is very rewarding.


    NOTES:
    Changes in shifts must be communicated with a week notice and be authorized- changes in shifts can't leave shifts uncovered

    Capoeira is also widely practiced and can be learned with 2 groups in lessons held in the late afternoon.
    Hiking paths are very simple to follow. Every volunteer who likes hiking can't miss visiting the neighboring island, Santo Antao, with its beautiful mountains and trekking paths. 
    If you are not so keen on hiking, you can rent a bicycle, an electrical bicycle or a scooter at local shops.
