About us
DAWN PEARSON
LORAINE SCHEEPERS
I am married with two children and lives in Pretoria. I am originally from Tzaneen, a small town about an hour and a half from the Kruger National Park. I studied and qualified in Business administration at Pretoria University in 2000.
In 2007 Dawn Pearson (my business partner) visited South Africa on a volunteer project to work with vervet monkeys.
She approached me to join her setting up an honest company whereby volunteers receive immediate answers to their questions and are looked after every step of the way. We are both committed Christians sharing the same faith and trust that this is reflected in both our personal and our business lives.
We hope that through Vets and Wildlife we can achieve these goals in helping Vet students, in particular, realise their dreams at an affordable price and give them a wonderful experience to look back on.
Vets and Wildlife takes volunteers to work with animals and wildlife in Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and Egypt. In particular vet students have the chance to practice their skills such as castrations and sterilisations and gain valuable hands on experience.
