Anyone can help to protect sea turtles, no matter how old--or young--you may be. Lena and Naomi, ages 6 and 4, love sea turtles and wanted to help, so they put together an art exhibition and took donations. Lena says:
"Mummy had the idea of making an art exhibition, and we did. Then Mummy printed out lots of invitations to our neighbours and other people. And lots of them came. We asked for a gold coin donation, and one person gave us $5! We got $44 altogether for the Sea Turtle Foundation. There was lots of paintings, some clay figures of dolphins, a horse mask, koalas and owls made from pom-poms (Naomi made the owls and I made the koalas), two melamine plates that we made, and a dress and necklace for a sea turtle."
Well done, Lena and Naomi! Their generous donation to the Sea Turtle Foundation helps us continue working in the field, responding to calls about sick turtles and getting them the help they need. We are very proud of them and we hope their passion for sea turtles and the marine environment spreads!
