Special themes

Sometimes on this blog we feature the "vets" – as in veteran bloggers.  At the moment that would be bloggers who started blogging before October 2005.

But today we’re talking about another missionary vet – that’s right, a veterinarian!

Goats.

The Christian Veterinary Mission says on their home page:  A Healthy Animal Makes the Difference Between Life and Death.

  • A malnourished child receives enough protein for healthy development from a cow that produces more milk.
  • A widow pays for her life necessities with her own income by selling the offspring from a healthy goat.
  • Nationals are trained in sustainable animal health practices and are empowered to be leaders in their communities.
  • Lives are transformed by the gospel of Jesus and those living in fear and despair are filled with joy and hope!

And that brings us to Dr. Kelly Crowdis.  According to the CVM website, Dr. Crowdis is now assisting with the training of Haitian Veterinarians and animal health agents and developing livestock loan programs.

And yes, she has a blog!  SUSTAIN Haiti has been up and running since 2006.  Take the time to read a few posts – and you’ll read about quite the adventures (to say the least).  As a matter of fact, even the post from today details a hold-up at gunpoint.

Take a look at a few posts, and leave a comment or two for Kelly!
