I loved my experience with GVI Madagascar!

I loved my experience with GVI Madagascar! I spent 4 weeks on the island of Nosy Be Madagascar with the conservation program. At the Nosy Be program the conservation team and the community team are located at the same base so it was fun to see what the community team did too. For conservation we did lemur surveys, herp (reptiles and amphibians) surveys, and bird surveys. We also worked with Park Rangers in Lokobe National Park to help them develop their English speaking skills to provide more efficient tours to English speaking park visitors. During our weekends there was so much to do and see both on Nosy Be and other near by islands. We snorkeled with sea turtles (at Nosy Sakatia and Nosy Tanikely), visited lemur island (Nosy Komba), and saw some beautiful beaches (Nosy Iranja). I've been home 2 days now and am thinking about what GVI program I want to do next, with a longer stay next time. I highly recommend GVI to anyone interested in immersing themselves in culture while volunteering for the community or conservation.
