Ghiwa

Hello!

My name is Ghiwa Haddad, I am an international student at KU Leuven. I am 26 years old and I am doing my masters in physiotherapy. 

I was born in Lebanon and ever since I was a child, animals have been a huge part of my life. I took care of many cats and dogs and also other animals such as rabbits, Guinea pigs, turtles and birds... 

At the age of 13 years I got a puppy and I named him "Charlie". We instantly became inseperable best friends. We experienced the world together as we both grew up. Sadly, Charlie passed away when he turned 13 years old. I am now left with his memory that will forever remain in my heart. 

My love and appreciation for animals is imprinted within my character. I have learned through my many interactions with dogs and cats how to understand their behaviour and adapt my communication with them. Moreover, throughout my life I have taken care of many stray dogs and cats and provided assistance in animal healthcare with veterinarians and some rescue organizations. 

Since I moved to Leuven, I noticed that many people share my love for animals and I have made some good friends. I would like to have more opportunities to meet and get to know animal lovers and their pets. To me it is the kind of experience that gives me the most joy and happiness. 

I currently live in a student studio that has private toilet, shower and kitchen. It is a small space but it is quite private and there is a small green space outside. I live very close to the Arenberg campus which has a lot of green areas that are ideal for walks. Many people choose to walk their pets and sometimes let them play offleash there.

I hope that my resume would be interesting to you, and that I would have the honour to meet you and your pet best friend :)
