Previously, you heard the voice of the students in our J.A.M.I.N. program. Now it’s time to hear how the students in The Bahamas feel about our B.A.M. program.

B.A.M. Year 1 Program

“This program has been the best and it taught me a lot about mangroves. I enjoyed every moment of it!”                                – Carissa Francois, Abaco Central High School

               “I learnt that I have a duty to protect my mangroves, for they are as essential to me as I am essential to them.”      – Jovan Bailey, Forest Heights Academy

“My favorite part of the program was going in the water experiencing different things that I’ve never seen before in my life that are right in my own environment.” – Wade Woodside, Abaco Central High School

“My favorite part of the program was taking an active part in helping the mangroves instead of just learning the facts.”          – Jewel Pinder, Forest Heights Academy

“My favorite part of this project is going on the field trips to see and plant the mangroves. It was really fun to walk in the sinking mud too!” – Chinica Jean, Abaco Central High School

“I learned that you can do your part in helping the environment. You should be more involved in programmes that protect the environment instead of just talking about it.” – Rachel Rolle, Forest Heights Academy

B.A.M. Year 2 Program

“B.A.M. has given me an experience like no other and because of it, I feel as though my science/research skills have been sharpened. Additionally, my appreciation for mangroves and marine ecosystems has grown exponentially.”                           – Raevyn Bootle, Forest Heights Academy

“This program has allowed me to regain my appreciation for my environment like when I was younger and attended FRIENDS of the Environment. I am proud to say that nowI’m more interested in my environment and willing to continue the journey of protecting the environment.”  – Gregory Cox, Forest Heights Academy
