Meet the Corona crew !
Episode 4 : Marlon
We find ourselves in a unique situation at EV with a very stable crew: the whole team has been here for at least 3 months now! We would like to introduce you to this ‘Corona Crew’, today we get to know Marlon!
Marlon (10) is the son of Douwe and Olivia and was born at Esperanza Verde, so he lived in Peru his whole life. Growing up in the jungle, he got to know the surroundings of EV very well and he also learned a lot about the plants, fruits and animals of this region. Therefore, the volunteers are very happy if Marlon comes with them on leaf walks, since there will always be some fruits found to eat, new paths to discover or new fun facts to learn. Marlon is also always happy to lend a hand if volunteers need help catching fish, finding tortoise-leaves or if they are looking for a game-buddy on their day off.
