Helping out the Project

Remember there are many ways to help this project, and conservation efforts in general, besides directly contributing money. To run this project we use many items and for sure it is a benefit if you can donate a needed item directly, if you already have it or want to get it to us, even if it seems small it can do us a lot of good here on this island.

Other ways to help are through advertising this volunteer opportunity to friends or family, or by finding resources online directly through volunteer / gap-year organisers.

Business Partners
Besides funding through volunteer and group programs, having the annual support of business companies is a large help. You can support us with physical goods or with financial contributions. As you are helping and supporting a conservation / environmental effort we will gladly provide you with material or information so you can advertise that to the public or your customers. As well we will gladly display the fact that you (company) is supporting us.

Financial Donations
Financial donations are used for egg collection, land lease, maintenance, development, supplies, equipment, etc, and the grease to keep this effort running. Nobody here is getting paid for the work done it is all voluntary. It is hard work and the turtles do not pay us, so we need to get money somehow. We run programs so we are not beggars and we have something worthwhile to sell, but if you so feel inclined we will graciously accept your donation as well.
