I have been on this project for one month and I have had a great
experience.
Living away from the civilised world, without internet, shops, roads etc. On
a piece of beautiful nature together with other volunteers and the local
inhabitants. Enjoying an empty beach, fresh coconuts, good food and a very
relaxed atmosphere.
Walking on the beach and encountering the huge leatherback
turtles laying their eggs, is one of the amazing things I will never forget. Its
very important that these beautiful animals get the protection they need, and
this project is the perfect way to do this. For me, volunteering here was a
unique, unforgettable experience.
