Dear forum,
I work in the Union of the Comoros for a small NGO, C-3, which has bases in Mauritius, Madagascar, Palau and the Comoros. We work with local communities to protect the marine environment. One of our ongoing projects is raising the awareness of Comorian youth to the beauty and importance of the marine environment. However, sourcing masks and snorkels to allow them to see what lies beneath is incredibly difficult here, and as a small NGO we don’t have the funds to purchase them from abroad. To this end we were wondering if anyone had any fully functioning second hand masks and snorkels that you could donate. We would be able to cover the cost of postage and packaging to our UK office where they will stay until an intern can bring them out.
The following is a link to our newsletter detailing our current work with a group of kids dubbed the ‘Junior Ecoguards’. Any donations would contribute to this and future projects:

Many thanks for your time and if any of you fancy diving in some uncharted and potential riddled waters then I recommend a trip to the Comoros.
