Borneo 2022 - Olivia Metcalf

Hi, my name is OliviaMe and a few of my friends are heading off to Borneo to help with a range of sustainable, meaningful community and conservation projects. I will be helping to educate and improve young people's lives in the community as well as creating sustainable projects like constructing a youth centre, improving the drainage system to ensure cleaner and healthier living and establishing a community farming programme to enhance food security and encourage self-sufficiency within the village. Each project is aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and designed to make a significant and lasting impact on the region’s most critical issues. As well as helping socially, I'll also be helping environmentally; Borneo is an incredible haven of wildlife, including orangutans, elephants and proboscis monkeys, and is one of the world’s most important natural habitats. However, it’s also one of the most threatened. I'll get involved in activities to help safeguard this wildlife paradise for future generations by helping to tackle deforestation
