Story
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I hope you will consider helping me raise funds to participate in an incredible two-week clinical experience at Animal Care of Egypt (ACE) in March of this year! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">ACE is a charity organization which started as providing a place for the people of Luxor, Egypt to clean their hard-working pack animals. In addition, ACE now provides free veterinary care and offers educational programs aimed at preventing welfare-related injuries.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Volunteering at ACE will give me an amazing opportunity to further my practical veterinary skills while helping a very worthwhile project. I'll be working mostly with donkeys & horses, but may also come across a needy dog, cat, camel, or water buffalo! <br><br>Please be assured that any funds you donate will go straight to ACE to help cover the cost of running the program, like medicines, feed, and equipment, as well as towards providing me a place to stay. Any amount you can give is deeply appreciated! </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">P.S. One note - the JustGiving site accepts donations in British pounds, which you can make via any major credit or debit card. The pound is worth about $1.55 right now, so a 20 pound donation is about $31. This <a style="color: #1155cc;" href="http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amount=1&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;From=GBP&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;To=USD">handy currency converter</a> may be of help.</span></p>
