life as a volunteer
Sophia, Volunteer
Volunteering with OceanCare Foundation on their sea turtle rescue program was life-changing. Helping injured turtles return safely to the ocean and learning about marine conservation gave me a deeper sense of purpose. I left not only with unforgettable memories but also with the conviction that small actions can truly protect our planet.
