Roxane Declercq, our vet volunteer of our Erasmus+ European Voluntary Service project “Transposition”, has gone her home after her one-year long voluntary service in Sinop. Roxane, whose sending organisation AROEVEN Midi-Pyrénées from France, worked in the animal shelter of the Municipality of Sinop with Vet Volkan Tuncay. Roxane saved the lives of so many stray friends. She applied a lot of her veterinary competences such as spaying, traumatic surgeries, treatments of internal medicine here. She went feeding with us. She took tasks in our brunch and sales activities. She cooked delicious crêpes for 100 people! She also saved the lives of wild animals in the Sarıkum Wild Life Rescue and Rehabilitation Center. Roxane worked on the treatment and care of the sick, disabled and orphan wild animals with her occupational competence. She spayed so many dogs which were abondoned in Dikmen with the other Turkish vets. Also she noticed so many tumors during the surgeries and removed them successfully. Roxane rescued the dogs which were left to die in the Cangal Forest. She participated in our event for the kindergarten children on World Animals Day. She participated in the Erasmus Days Event in Cappadocia, which was held by the Turkish National Agency by representing the long term volunteering in Turkey. Roxane made a presentation of her volunteering in the Erasmus+ KA2 project “ComServ” in Gerze on 25th September 2018. She was in the news of NTV. Roxane also took Turkish lessons and made a lot of friends. She helped the other volunteers to adapt themselves in the environment. She participated in the Erasmus+ Mobility of Youth Workers training course “NGO Management and Administration”, which took place in Sinop between 26 November – 1 December 2018 as a guest participant and she showed a successful performance.
Roxane did so many great things for Sinop. Many thanks to her outstanding efforts. We love you, Roxane!
