Description
Hey ! I'm Manon, I'm 18 years old. I'm taking a Gap year before my studies, to discover other countries, cultures and learn more about the world.
I like meeting people, learning langages and I looove writing (stories, poems or just small sentences that don't have to make sense).
For this gap year, I want to get involved in environmental and social projects. I have already volunteered for a month in Archelon, an organization advocating for the protection of sea turtles in Greece, and I'm now volunteering in a permaculture farm in Pylos. I look forward to discovering more and more things :)

More details about your skills
I have volunteered twice so far, each time for environmental projects in Greece.
I worked for a month as a volunteer for Archelon, the sea turtle protection society of Greece, where we were monitoring, protection the sea turtles and their nests, as well as raising awareness about the threats to their survival.
I am currently (november 2024) volunteering in Dio Pigadia, a permaculture farm in the Southern Peloponnese for the olive harvest Season !
I have also comitted myself in an organization in France, of the youth engaged for the climate.
Otherwise I am taking a diploma to become an holiday camp activity leader (or working in activity centres and schools) so I have expérience with children.

Mi sono trovata benissimo a collaborare con lei! Abbiamo scambiato idee ed esperienze. Mi piace molto il suo modo di pensare e la sua voglia di esprimersi.
Merci Manon! È stato un piacere.
