"Small is our number, big is our action!"

" I was able to accompany students on the dolphin boat with Angie, Dallas, and Skipper Mitch to help them discover the bay's dolphins and whales. 

 

The outing was a huge surprise. A dozen dolphins joined us and allowed us to observe them up close! A rare opportunity. " 



"It was like just a dream for me."


"Afterwards, we joined a team from Maputo National Park, Ocean Conservancy, and Peace Parks Foundation for the International Coastal Clean-up Day in Ponta do Ouro. I was one of 50 participants, alongside students and teachers from Maputo's American International School. Altogether, we pulled off a "small miracle": we managed to collect almost 500 kg of garbage from the ocean!

 

It was a first for me and something I really wanted to do. Small is our number, and big is our action. Taking action for the environment, as we did yesterday, is a call to join the movement.

 

I couldn't have hoped for a better day as a volunteer with the Dolphin Encountour Research Center. 

 

Thanks to Angie and her team, and the French association Bwild, for enabling me to act for the good of the environment."
