It is so rewarding to see the fruits of the SOS Tartarugas programme for children. Yesterday two young boys brought us a six week old hatchling that a friend of theirs was keeping in a water bottle in his house. A couple of years ago it was really common to see kids walking around selling hatchling to the tourists in Santa Maria and there are still many turtles that are kept in houses (sometimes in very poor condition).These two lovely boys from Noz Kasa had attended the workshop with Joana and had learned that it is much better to put the turtles in the sea right away.
Maria, Albert & Berta went with the kids to wish the turtles a safe journey and afterwards they received a certificate of adoption for their turtle and even got to give it a name. They also like the Haribo reward!
