International Veterinary Students Association Fund For Underprivileged Veterinary Schools

Every year the International Veterinary Students Association raises money to make a fund for underprivileged veterinary schools. Each year the IVSA executive committee chooses the educational facility in most need of our help to recieve these funds. The amount we raise varies with every year but it can be as high as £7000 (we always wish we could raise more with our activitites). Last year we helped the Mongolian Veterinary School in Ulaan Bataar by shippng donated books from the BVA and paying for computers, printer, scanner and other things.
