“Being surrounded by an African culture, in a less developed environment than home has really changed our vision of the world. We left Maio with brand new eyes, deepened understanding and appreciation of conservation work and friends for life“.
“I was able to work in the Turtle Conservation Programme. Along with this possibility, I was lucky to homestay with a local family who welcomed me with open arms and became my Cape Verdean family. I believe we should all have an experience like this in our lives, it leaves a mark in our memory and heart!“
“I had the amazing opportunity to spend a month with FMB. The local natural environment is almost pristine with breathtaking beach views. FMB staff and volunteers made up of both passionate locals as well other visiting students, were extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, motivating and kind – ensuring an unforgettably positive experience“.
