Go, Speak, Live Boldly - Rebecca Quam Follow along on my 9 year veterinary mission to South Africa teaching vet tech students at a univers

Currently serving in South Africa with Christian Veterinary Mission. I am working as a volunteer for nine years teaching students at North-West University in Mafikeng, South Africa at the Dale Beighle Center for Animal Health Studies. You can view my previous prayer letters/newsletters at hislightrq.blogspot.com.

Well, it is long past time for an update. Many of you will have read in my last prayer letter that I was accepted for a veterinary dermatology residency in British Columbia. That, unfortunately, has fallen though. The work permit was not expected to come though until Oct or later and there was no flexibility in the July start date for the residency.
For now, I'm continuing as a relief veterinarian with my own business, Quam Relief Service, PLLC. So far, I'm really enjoying relief work and the Lord has provided continuous work through Sept.
Although I'm really disappointed not to start the residency, I have to admit that moving to a different country so soon after returning to the US was a bit intimidating. This will give me a year to settle in and get back in the flow before applying again next year.

I think the boys are glad to be back with me.

The boys arrived late, but everyone is ok and we have made it home. Thank you to everyone for your prayers!

It is my last night in Mafikeng. Goodbyes are all said, cats have been collected by the shipping company, and my bags are packed! Truly bittersweet!

It was 38°C (101°F) today for our last fellowship so we enjoyed Tin Roof and Mint Chilocolate Chip ice creams to cool down!

For those who read my latest prayer letter, I unfortunately didn't get matched with a residency on Match Day, but I'm in communication with a couple of positions that are still open. I would appreciate your prayers in this process!

It is now less than 2 weeks before I fly back to America! Thanks to you all, half of the >$2000 costs for shipping my two cats back to America have been covered by your generous donations! Unfortunately, full payment of these fees will be due next week. If you are able to donate to get us closer to 100% that would be amazing! Thank you so much!

Time is getting close for me and my cats to travel back to the USA! My flight costs are covered by CVM, but getting the boys back home is my responsibility. If you are able, please help me cover the costs of their transport. So far we have raised about 25% of the cost!

Time is flying by and my move home to America in March is quickly approaching. One of my biggest personal expenses in moving back to America is flying my two cats back to the USA. The total cost for this is about $2000 and I have set up a crowd sourcing page to try to help cover this expense. If you are able to help me bring my two boys home, I would really appreciate it! https://www.backabuddy.co.za/rebecca-quam-5824966524155380051
