2015 WIL Support Bursaries. Nicole Nash Course: Bachelor of Environmental Science (Marine Biology)WIL Unit: Science InternshipPlacement: MaldivesCampus: Warrnambool For my internship I spent five weeks on a small island "Velidhoo" in the Maldives, working closely with the Velidhoo Future Foundation (VFF).
Throughout my placement I undertook many invigorating and inspiring tasks from preparing class notes for fisheries science classes, writing Environmental Impact Assessments, to preparing grant proposals for funding of the VFF organisation as well as working closely with the dive centre in researching the islands coral reef habitats in order to locate the most appropriate site for the coral restoration program that is to be implemented in Velidhoo. My scientific writing, research skills and knowledge were all enhanced. In particularly I noticed this since returning home and having a wider range of skills that I hadn't acquired prior to my placement. The WIL Program helped me immensely.

When Fanny Declerq, a human rights lawyer and UN Youth Volunteer serving in Bolivia, decided to undertake her assignment with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), she did so because she wanted to bring her human rights knowledge into practice in the South American context.
After numerous solo missions throughout indigenous territories, where she conducted courses on indigenous peoples’ rights, and monitored human rights violations for over 4,000 people, she was able to make a meaningful contribution to OHCHR’s mission to better inform indigenous people of their rights. She also gained a deeper understanding of indigenous issues, improved her Spanish, and gained countless professional skills. Undertaking 20 missions in 30 days, like Ms. Declerq did during her outreach to indigenous communities, takes a lot of energy.
