| Samoan Islands Next campaign - Summer 2011 Status: DTBD 1,016 Animals sterilized on the Samoan Islands, March 2010 campaign, Summary In February, Animal Balance set out on our biggest adventure yet, to help the animals and communities of the beautiful Samoan Islands in the South Pacific. We held a 2 week project on American Samoa and a 9 day project on Independent Samoa simultaneously. This was our first campaign in the South Pacific. We sterilized an incredible 1, 019 animals – even with the Tsunami evacuation! Thank you to the generosity and support of The Edith Goode Trust, Humane Society International, Maltz Family Foundation, ACC&D and the Government of Independent Samoa for funding the campaigns. Twenty five skilled, compassionate and dedicated veterinarians (vets) animal technicians (techs) assistants and dog handling experts decided to use their vacation time to help the animals. They paid for their own flights, accommodation and other needs, making huge sacrifices in their own lives. We are indebted to them. They worked tirelessly in over 100 degree heat, often in remote locations without basic amenities. Thank you to the Humane Society of American Samoa, The Department of Agriculture of American Samoa, and The Animal Protection Society of Independent Samoa for collaborating with Animal Balance to organize the campaigns.......
