GIN Conference and More!!

Many people in our world believe that being part of an environmental group just means recycling or doing stuff that involves plastic bottles. Let me tell you, I was one of those people, I admit. Then I got involved in Sea Savers and started learning the meaning of what it really means to be a person who loves and cares about nature. This doesn’t mean that I am just writing to make people reflect, of course. I am writing because I want to be a spark in people’s head to inspire them to make a change not to just forget after 5 minutes of ‘quick reflection’. Sea Savers is an student organization dedicated to the protection of the coral reefs of the Dominican Republic. Our main focus is the lionfish. We have fantastic and really brave girls that presented our country as well as our organization in the GIN conference in Costa Rica. These girls made a fantastic and educated presentation that involved all their knowledge and experience about this topic. They also expressed their points of view and their ideas about saving the coral reefs through our intellectual activities. These girls were strong enough to show all their knowledge and love about nature in a room full of people that were also interested in knowing how we can change the world and make it a better place for the next generations. So, that’s Sea Savers, our goals and dreams. We don’t simply participate in activities that involve posters saying “save the world” but rather present ourselves to the world as leaders that want to create a spark, a bright shine in people’s mind not just a phrase that’ll last for 1 or 2 hours.
