Turtle Conservation in Nusa Penida

I just came back from wonderful two weeks volunteering on Nusa Penida Island next to Bali with IVHQ. I joined the Turtle Conservation programme, and it was a really amazing experience. Having done other voluntary projects in the past, I was not sure if there would be "something in it for me", but I was mistaken!
First of all, the organization of the stay and support beforehand was excellent, food and accommodation were great, and the local team was brilliant - very committed and always smiling! I met an amazing crowd of like-minded people, including a family with 3 kids, and made friendships that are here to last. We also had lots of fun together - including karaoke!
And last but not least - I felt we could really make a difference with our practical support to the turtle project and also our beach cleaning actions. I definitely recommend this programme for any animal and nature lover - the turtles are such amazing creatures!
