Hey everyone,
My old position in coral reef restoration in Kenya became available. It was an amazing 2 year experience for me, I learned so much in marine biology, projectmanagement and in diving. It opened a lot of opportunities for me and thanks to that experience I now have my perfect job. Therefore, I love to share it and hope it means the same to the next person.
With kind regards,
Peter Vodegel
