Hello, I am Nicole and am participating in a 12-week volunteer trip to Thailand to aid the reforestation and regeneration of the developing coastal environment. I am 18 and am stepping very far out of my comfort zone to travel on my own, joining a volunteer group to plant trees and clean up the coast. I am volunteering with a non profit charity that doesn’t have external funding, so their fee goes towards the accommodation, meals and necessities of volunteers. The full fee is £2000, so any donations are very helpful.
