Nicole...

My friend Nicole is also currently taking part in the Raleigh India expedition. She looks like she is having a great time and I am so proud of all her hard work.
Whilst in India she will be helping poorer families in the village of Gandenahalli to construct their own eco-sanitation facility. Nicole will also be trekking and taking part in an Environmental Project - Turtle conservation.
Currently she will be helping communities on the Maharashtra coast, where growing populations of Olive Ridley Turtles nest between November and March, to develop their economy around eco-tourism. Based in the coastal village of Velas, the group will undertake work to construct a pathway from the village to the beach, so tourists can witness release of turtle hatchlings. They will also patrol the beach at night to prevent poaching and to identify new nests for relocation into the safe hatchery.
Now that's what I call helping others less fortunate.
