Leader(s): Mmochi and IMS faculty
I chose to snorkeling to observe Zanzibar’s coral reef diversity first hand. Others traveled to a spice farm and learnt about the exotic spices produced on Zanzibar, and why it is known as the Spice Island.
Leaders: Dr Nariman Jiddawi, Senior Lecturer & Head of Section, Marine Biology and Resources Management, IMS
We got to see first hand the pearl farming and the shell polishing enterprises that benefit women and local communities, got to talk with the producers, and ask additional questions.
5:00 – 7:00 pm: Free time For Shopping
I ran through the narrow streets of Zanzibar with Vincent to get some last minute shopping done. He took me to the famous spince market and then we worked our way back toward the hotel.
Leader: Val Beasley, Envirovet Director
We were all given certificates signifying that we had completed the envirovet course. As a special treat, Tricia performed a song that she had written about the experience. It was based on the popular world cup song by Shakira.
7:45 pm: Leave Stone Town for dinner
8:00 pm: Special end of course dinner
For our final night we shared an amazing seafood dinner on the beach. It was a spectacular setting with great food and even better company. There were many pictures taken and tears shed as people began to realize the envirovet experience was coming to an end.
