My Travel Story

by: Marlene Harding Start Date: Oct 22, 2015 - End Date: Nov 27, 2015
Lily and I are super excited to be heading over to Bali to become Turtle Guardians! 

We'll be volunteering with IVHQ and their partners Green Lion in Bali. The Turtle Conservation project is located on the smaller island of Nusa Penida, which is a 45 minute speed boat ride from Sanur, Bali. We'll be working alongside other volunteers and a local team to protect the endangered sea turtles of Indonesia via both proactive and reactive activities. Our work is focussed on hands on care for the turtles housed at the conservation center, including the feeding and cleaning of turtles and the equipment at the centre. Additionally, we'll assist with proactive conservation efforts which include the improvement of the surrounding environment via beach clean ups, waste management improvement and educating locals about the issues facing Indonesia’s sea turtles and what can be done to help.

We can't wait to get out in the world and do some good, and any of your support would be gretly appreciated!! :) 

Love, Lily and Marley
