Two of BV’s previous volunteers are featured on GapYear.com<\/a>. Caroline Gosney<\/a> writes about how she took a rather unplanned gap year, after she didn’t get the grades she wanted for uni, which worked to her advantage (she found us)– “I went to Madagascar alone, although I met other volunteers at various airports along the way so the whole experience was less daunting.

Scuba diving, teaching English, Baobab excursions, science training, pirogue sailing, further scuba diving training and a whole host more, all in the exotic location of Madagascar.”<\/span><\/p>\n
