Unforgettable experience

My Journey started on November 1st 2022 in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. I was a student at the Richmond Vale Academy. We were 22 People in my Team from different coutries. The first 4 weeks was a lot of theoretical stuff and learning about climate change, mangroves and more. Every Wednesday was Common Action (Helping in the garden or in the fruit forest for example). And once a month is Building Weekend. We had so much fun during the practical work. The second period of the program was more practical work. I helped building benches in the fruit forest. During the Christmas time we went to a different Island called Bequia. You should definitely visit this Island. Beautiful Beaches and a nice landscape. after the Christmas holiday we came back to the Richmond Vale Academy. We had still work to do, and prepared our trip to Union Island for getting mangroves seeds we wanted to plant in St. Vincent. We also had to prepare our next Period: Going out to the Communities/Villages. From February to April we lived and worked with the locals in the Villages. We did Beach Clean-Ups, builded some benches and helded lessons for Children at the School in Peto (The Village where i lived two months). The last period was called bring it to the public. We came all together for the last month of our program and worked on our Final Product (For example a article or video).
It was an unforgettable experience!
If you are interested in fighting against climate change, learning life skills and working with a team from different cultures you should definitely join this program.
A 6-Month-Journey you´ll remember forever.
