Mishicot News column: Veterinarian planning mission trip to Mongolia
Dr. Melanie Goble, of Mishicot Veterinary Clinic and Pet Care Center, is planning to travel to Mongolia on a Christian veterinary mission to teach and assist veterinarians and veterinary students in medicine, surgery and business skills.
Goble is raising funds to make the trip possible. There is a collection drop-off jar at the veterinary clinic as well as ways to donate online and by check. She also is selling blankets and jars of soup and dessert mixes.
Goble has a blog about her mission at melaniegobledvm.wordpress.com/2013/12/02/why-mongolia-where-is-that-again. There are directions on how to donate on her blog and well as on her Facebook page — Mission to Mongolia under the “About” heading.
