Volunteers

The Phil Simon Clinic Tanzania Project is a non-profit organization run almost entirely by volunteers. Since we do not receive special funding or government support, we are fortunate to have many dedicated volunteers and donors from all walks of life participate in and support the project. Children and adults have supported our fundraising events, volunteered in the Pasadena Clinic, and, of course, volunteered for many aspects of our work in East Africa. Support from many prestigious and talented outside organizations have enhanced the community spirit of the Clinic and the Tanzania Project. Organizations such as Creative Planet School of The Arts, Holy Family School in South Pasadena, The San Marino Tsunami Swim Team, The Phoenix Pharmacy and Wellness Center, The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles, and the South Pasadena Senior Center Art Class have all given their time and talented members to the project.

Volunteer professionals from Huntington Hospital, City of Hope Medical Center, Providence St. Joseph Medical Center, Occidental College, the California Institute of Technology, and Dartmouth College have enhanced Clinic activities and projects. Finally, the many patients of The Phil Simon Clinic have generously given their time and clinical experiences. All of these organizations and people are testimony to the community fabric of The Phil Simon Clinic.

Dr. Jane Goodall

Honorary Board Member of PSCTP

Dr. Jane Goodall was a long-time supporter and an honorary board member of the Phil Simon Clinic Tanzania Project. She met with our Team Tanzania on several occasions, including the 2016 and 2024 trips.

Dr. Goodall has strongly supported our project and helped orchestrate many of our connections to partner institutions in Tanzania. She inspired us to reach beyond our commitment to human healthcare in Tanzania and bring veterinarians and vet assistants on many trips. 

She was deeply committed to helping all people and animals and was one of the leading voices for controlling climate change, animal kindness, environmental protection, and world peace. Jane’s spirit lives on in all the creatures she has touched, all the natural environments she adored, and all the wise words she has shared with the world.
