Achievement at a glance
Since 2014, the Bay Islands Conservation Association (BICA) initiated the Empowered Youth project which consist of working closely with senior students at the public and private high schools on the island of Roatan. To graduate in Honduras, seniors have to complete 144 volunteer hours. We have specifically worked with seniors in hotel management, accounting & finance and biology (morning, evening and night sections). \r\nThe program provides training to a group of approximately 60-90 high school students each year covering different environmental subjects, such as, solid waste, climate change, water and different ecosystems (coral, mangroves, seagrass). Groups are formed and trained to carry out environmental talks to younger students in middle school (Kids teaching kids). In addition, these students have the opportunity to participate in the different programs that we have at BICA (Environmental Education, Community Development, Protection, Research and Monitoring).\r\nIn 2017, our coordinator of the environmental education program, provided training to the seniors in Accounting and Finance on how to give environmental talks. The students then worked on a power point presentation to present at the different schools. The talk was given to primary school children of 4th, 5th and 6th grade, to junior high school students, 1st / 7th, 2nd / 8th, 3rd / 9th year of the common cycle and students of I, II, III, high school.\r\nEducation Program:\r\n1.Campaign Ponete las Pilas Battery Collection around the island.\r\n2.6 internal projects at the CEB-Modelo School. \r\nCommunity Development Program:\r\n1.Survey application to the inhabitants of the Sandy Bay community on garbage separation.\r\nProtection Program:\r\n1.5 Maintenance activity in the mangrove nursery (Cleaning and irrigation of mangrove nursery, filling bags with prepared earth for the production of propagating, Collection of mangrove seeds for the mangrove nursery, etc).\r\nResearch & Monitoring Program:\r\n1.
