Sophia's Trip to Australia

Hi Everyone,

I was recently accepted into a volunteer program through ISV and next summer I will be going to Australia for a month! This is such a special opportunity because spots were limited and I am so thankful to have been chosen to participate.

 The trip is broken up into two parts. The first two weeks consists of different volunteer projects such as:

-Conservation of nature sanctuaries for wildlife
-Habitat restoration & protection
-Provide a place of refuge for native animals in a natural setting
-Native planting to protect Australian landscapes
-Scientific research conservation management
-Surveying and monitoring of threatened species and ecosystems
-Education and sustainable development
-Teach sustainability and appreciation for our natural world
-Construction of eco-tourism facilities

The second part of the trip is a two week adventure tour where we will explore Australia and take part in many different activities such as:

-SCUBA diving and snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef
-White water rafting on the Tully River
-Ocean rafting to the famous Whitehaven Beach
-Surfing in Byron Bay and exploring Fraser Island
-Rappeling down sandstone cliffs in the Blue Mountains
-Experience the Aussie night life of Sydney and Cairns
-Visiting an Australian wildlife park
-Sunset cruise in Sydney Harbor
-Visiting a traditional Aboriginal cultural center

I am so excited and have dreamt of going to Australia my whole life! This is truly a dream come true and any type of support will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my page!
