Vanuatu Volunteer: Turtles and Community Development

Volunteering with turtles is part of a vital international sea turtle conservation program that will take you to the turquoise water and golden sands of Moso Island in the South Pacific, Vanuatu, previously voted theHappiest Place on Earthby the New Economic Foundation. In addition to providing you the opportunity to help save sea turtles, this grassroots effort also gives you the chance to engage in many other activities that occur in the village, such as reef surveying, teaching at the village school, and cooking local food. In your spare time you can snorkel on tropical reefs and learn to dive or just sit andstorianwith your new friends in the village!

The money that the local populace receives from volunteers provides a small income to many people in the village who would otherwise not have one
