Description

Recently, tourism and economic growth have threatened the delicate ecological balance. Lifeworks-BVI bases its core projects around some of these issues to help sustain a healthy environment.

During the program, we live with the rest of our service team aboard a sailing vessel, as everyone in the BVI has to move around by boat. Plus, living aboard allows us to visit most every island while providing a perfect floating home. It's refreshing to be out on the water where there are cool breezes, and a great sense of camaraderie comes from working together as a crew.
