    Description

    Hello and welcome. I am Noémi and I am eager to tell you more about the program. I live and work in the Galápagos for over 25 years since coming here as a volunteer for 6 months. This program is an inspiring offering in this unique world heritage site which aims to connect all 7th graders (10 to 11 year olds) to the ocean through immersive and transformational experiences. Our small teams is multidisciplinary and passionate about the work we do. The Galapagos Islands are a magical place and putting our skills to the service of the children that live here to ensure they can be the guardians of the islands is so rewarding.
