New friends in new places

Joanne, 17 years old, has learnt to live with mosquito bites and extreme temperatures. She has been in Trinidad for three weeks, working on an Earthwatch project to protect the country's leatherback sea turtles. Joanne has spent most of her working hours patrolling the beach, looking for turtles. She has made friends with people from the USA, Norway, Holland and Trinidad and has learnt how to cook callaloo, a local dish made from leaves, vegetables and crab meat. Joanne is going to return to Sheffield soon but she has already decided to join another project next summer.

The Earthwatch Institute is an organization that has set up conservation programmes in every corner of the planet. What makes Earthwatch different is that many programmes are aimed at young volunteers and families with children.
