Activism is Contagious

March 5th, 2008

Number 3 in the Remarkable Bloggers© Series

Activism is contagious and so is Pelf, a 20 something year old blogger from Malaysia. This young lady has the heart of a champion and the brains to go with it. Her latest blog post is about her recent win of a a 4-month scholarship, and involves professional training in the conservation of turtles. The scholarship is only awarded to two participants from the Asian countries every year, since the inception in 2000. She is the first participant to represent Malaysia.

The Asian Scholarship Program for In-situ Chelonian Conservation (ASPin-situCC) is primarily seated at the Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. Begun in 2000, the ASPin-situCC has funded fourteen international chelonian conservationists participation in the Wetland Institute's Terrapin Recovery Project, a community based conservation effort. This opportunity involves field work designed to learn about, and to protect, the northern diamondback terrapin, a salt marsh turtle that inhabits the US eastern seaboard.

This bright young woman has completed her Masters studies and is on her way to a brilliant future, caring for and continuing conservation work in her area and hopefully more areas of the world.

She also hosts another blog, The Giving Hands, which is an extension of her charity and conservation work online, which revolves around creating and spreading awareness on matters pertaining to charity, conservation, the environment, health & volunteerism. This young woman has done remarkable things in her life, already. The next 30 years will be a true pleasure to witness. Her strength of character, wit and intelligence will carry her far.
