[Vnbiz] Viet-kieu Student Volunteers Needed at Ha Long Bay

[Tran Dinh Hoanh]

Dear CACC,

Below is a message from anh David Brown looking for some talented Vietkieu
students to join the Ecoboat team at Ha Long Bay.  Ecoboat is a Fauna &
Flora International project. It can be found at http://ecoboat.org .  I have
copied some info on its first page here FYI.

Anh David's message is at the end.  The file "seeking Overseas VNese Interns
0706" is attached.  And David can be reached at nworbd at gmail.com.

Thank you, anh David, for the info.

Have a great day!

Hoanh

Welcome!

The EcoBoat is a floating classroom, and beautiful Ha Long
Bay<http://ecoboat.org/halong.html>is its campus for a
unique-to-Vietnam program of hands-on, experiential
environmental education.

The EcoBoat Project is an initiative of Fauna & Flora
International<http://www.fauna-flora.org/>,
the world?s first international conservation society, and is funded by a
grant from the Darwin Initiative <http://www.darwin.gov.uk/>. Our partner in
the project is the Ha Long Bay Management
Department<http://www.halong.org.vn/>—the Vietnamese agency
responsible for stewardship of the Ha Long Bay World
Heritage Site.

An EcoVoyage is a bit like a camping trip!  The accommodations on board are
basic, the days are full, and everyone quickly become friends. We challenge
the kids to stretch their muscles and their minds. We pay a lot of attention
to safety. We know how to talk to kids whose first language isn?t English.
Everyone?s happy to dig in to ample, tasty meals. When the mattresses are
spread at night, no one has trouble falling asleep.

The EcoBoat experience encourages thoughtful reflection, too. A recurrent
theme throughout the trip is humankind's impact on the natural setting, and
their responsibility toward it. Students debate the rival claims of economic
development and conservation, consumption and preservation, and they imagine
different futures for this very special corner of the earth and sea.
