For me it was several things that will forever be with me even after my participation with program. It was the guidance and teaching of kids from another school abroad while doing a survey underwater that really stuck with me. I am beyond confident and reliable on my skills in the water and guiding others too and even though I was the youngest volunteer in the marine program, I felt like I was truly recognised not only as an authority figure but also as someone who has good talent in their passion even though the kids I taught were only 1-2 yrs younger than me from the UK. Besides that experience, being able to be with the dolphins, swim with them, study them and see them for who they truly are in their natural habitat is something I will never forget. I have always been a huge admirer and lover for animals and being able to help and study the dolphins to their benefit while still being able to interact with them is something that was precious and amazing to me. Thank you so much for this experience.

Hey Ian / Allyson Thanks so much for sharing! It’s awesome to hear how much your confidence grew, especially guiding others underwater. Being recognized for your talents at such a young age is a huge accomplishment, and it sounds like you truly made an impact. And swimming with dolphins in their natural habitat? That’s the dream! We’re so happy you got to live out your passion for animals while doing something that matters. What an experience to remember! - GoEco Team

I wanted a chance to volunteer in a way that was totally different from my work. I got that, and I am thankful for the opportunity. Zanzibar is beautiful, the people I met were kind, and I had a wonderful time. The dolphin research was really wonderful to be a part of, and I also really enjoyed getting to know the local staff - really good people.
