Projects Abroad

I did the projects abroad rhino conservation project for three weeks starting in November 2025. Projects abroad were helpful from the beginning and made me feel very welcomed and safe. Sovit who organised and travelled with me in the days was very friendly and knowledgable about the local wildlife and area. We saw some amazing wildlife including elephants, rhinos and crocodiles and so much more ! The typical volunteering was collecting data on species and their population numbers. Although there wasn’t much to do in your free time the accommodation and local area were beautiful and the locals were so friendly. The project went by so quickly !

My experience in Ghana through Projects Abroad has been truly transformative. The support before and during my trip was excellent, and my placement at Merotn & Everett LLP offered meaningful, hands-on legal work that challenged me and helped me grow both personally and professionally. I felt welcomed by my host family and the local community, and I learned so much about the culture, legal system, and daily life in Accra. This program exceeded my expectations and has had a lasting impact on my career path and confidence. I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity.

This time in shark conservation in Fiji, I have learned a gained a lot of skills and knowledge by hands-on experience. Most of the times, we had fish identification workshop, coral workshop, shark laboratory seminar at diving center, shark identification workshop, mangrove workshop, etc. Yet, all of these knowledge are being conjugated in the diving afterwards. Learning new contents are important, yet the part that I liked the most is that we got to learn different techniques, planting and restoring mangroves, recording fish species, observation shark type and gender, or surveying coral health, all of them which can only be learnt with physical experience. As a person who wants to become a marine biologist/fish biologist in the future, it was a great experience to learn deeply and bring back actual skills to home.
