And action begins!

Some good news: as an introduction to my job, I am going trough a training that will show me the different projects and activities of GVI in Kenya, both in community development and in nature conservation. Because of that, the last days have been a non-stop of presentations about health and safety, transects, marine biology. But this week, at last, I have had the opportunity to go out on the boat and participate in the research projects!

And what’s new about that? Well, nothing special… it seems. Just amazing dives in coral reefs, dolphins, whales and sails in a wooden “dhow” (traditional Swahili boat). It seems that all those things are just normal in this base, in other words, their daily routine. Nothing special?
