Arie Volunteers Abroad

Marine Conservation Project

Next year, I  will be travelling to Fiji for 6 weeks to volunteer in a conservation development program, where I will have the opportunity to be a part of a team that works closely with marine conservation efforts. The work that I will be doing there will be facilaitated by the charity GVI: Global Vision International.Not only will I gain new skills, but i'll have the opportunity to volunteer for a very worth while effort. 

My Goal: Is to strive to make a real impactful contribution through my volunteerism. 

During my first week I will be staying in a Traditional village, getting to know the local community and learning the Fijian language.

I will be doing things such as:

. Data Collection on targeted fish species
. Setting underwater cameras
. Tagging and release of marine life
. Protection of the Coral Reefs through Habitat mapping
. Visiting local schools once a week to run Environmental Awareness             Programs for students

 I am dedicated to this project and i'm super excited to start volunteering. With your help I will be able to make this a possibility! Any contribution would be greatly appreciated. I thank you in advance for assisting me in reaching this goal.

Thank you!
