Dawasamu volunteer projects

Overview

The people of Dawasamu depend on both the land and sea for subsistence. Their lives are inextricably linked to the environment and their natural resources. The village way of life that has existed for generations is still present and villages are still headed by chiefs and run by village headmen. This is a great opportunity to get to know the tribal culture and to slow down and surround yourself with the sites and history of the district.

You can also take the chance to go snorkelling and experience the rainbow of corals and sea-life. You might even see a black-and-white-banded sea snake! Or keep your feet dry and read a book or go for a walk along the tidal line at low tide, and see what seashore life you can spot.
