How to protect sea turtles?

Camille shares her experience with sea turtles in Sri Lanka

WHAT THIS EXPERIENCE BROUGHT ME…

This experience helped me dare to reach out to others and become more comfortable with English. Being on the other side of the world makes you realize the daily life of local communities, and you think about how lucky you are to live in such comfort. Also, it showed me how to protect sea turtles.

 

WHAT WERE THE TASKS ASSIGNED ON SITE?

  • Feeding the turtles,
  • Cleaning them,
  • Cleaning the turtle tanks,
  • Building fences for the project,
  • Cleaning the beaches and the jungle

 

 

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS MISSION?

Yes, 100%! The experience is amazing: meeting others, the tasks are unique experiences, the landscapes…

If I had to rate my experience, I would give it 5/5!

 

…AND FREEPACKERS?

Yes, Freepackers helped me do a project that interested me, the contact was easy and friendly. Upon arrival, the project matched the descriptions, and I was supported throughout the process.
