Meeting new people for the first time can be extremely nerve racking and overwhelming; but after a week of fun and games you begin to fall into a groove again. Becoming a volunteer with Greenforce is one of the best decisions “you” could ever make. The experiences you’ll have and the people you’ll meet are worthwhile.
We began the week with our first dive. There’s nothing like the smell of fresh neoprene combined with porridge in the morning. After a day of diving and activities, we all meet up in the “outdoor” kitchen for our weekly meeting. Weekly meetings inform every one of any upcoming activities or problems that have occurred during the previous week. Having weekly meetings really help to ensure things run smoothly.
Over the next couple of days most of the volunteers have retired the deck of cards and have now begun to explore the island a little more. We took a couple of snorkeling trips and have had the privilege of doing a creek clean up. The creek clean up really opened every one’s eyes as to how one piece of garbage can grow into millions of pieces.
As the week comes to a close every one begins to realize how precious time is and how close we have all become in such a small amount of time.
