Matilda last year after her return from her trip with us, held a presentation at her school and passed around a petition to protect the magnificent Blue Whale and to raise awareness about the natural gas plant that is being built.
Bonnie this year held her own presentation on her experiences with the Humpback whales, and told her class mates about how far they travel, how big the calves are and other important facts.
Here are some pictures of them, I am very proud to be their "Aunty Karen" and be included in songs on the boat, as well as animal games. Well done Matilda and Bonnie, can not wait to see you next year. ( Bonnie - "I kissed Bonnie and she liked it" x)
