The story behind Gili Reef Guardians…

What started 10 years ago as a small, 100% charity foundation—just people helping people—has grown into something bigger than I imagined.

No sponsors, no grants. Just time, heart, and community.

A year ago, one conversation sparked a new chapter. Today, Gili Reef Guardians brings together locals, children, and people from different islands to care for what truly matters.

From coral restoration to planting 1,000 trees a year, from school projects to community connection—this is about listening to the island and working with the people who call it home.

Because real impact starts there.

Giving back a little of the magic the island has given us šŸ’™

Teachable moment from this morning…

I thought planting corals was like planting a tree underwater—like I was planting oxygen.

But corals actually consume oxygen. The real oxygen magic comes from the tiny algae living inside them.

Grateful to be corrected. It’s okay to be wrong—this is how we learn.

If you’re working with nature, take the time to understand it. Corals are living creatures, and doing it wrong can cause harm.

Learn about corals with scientists—there are many papers on Google Scholar. Read, ask questions, and know what you’re doing before you start.

Thank you, Penida 🌊
For everything you’ve taught us…
In the depths of the ocean,
In the quiet beauty of this island,
And in the kindness of the people we met along the way.

Some places don’t just stay in your memories—
They soften something in your heart.

Today we shared something truly special…

A deep and honest debrief with the kids.
A moment to listen, to feel, to reflect.

In our little school of reflection, everything is welcome —
every voice, every emotion, every perspective.

We explored something simple yet powerful:
the difference between a 6 and a 9.
The same reality… seen differently.

Because each of us stands in a different place.

Something didn’t go as planned this week.
There were misunderstandings, a bit of sadness…

But this is where the magic lives.

Mistakes are not failures —
they are our greatest teachers.

They guide us to grow, to communicate better, to understand each other more deeply.

Together, we realized:
✨ Teamwork matters
✨ Clear communication matters
✨ Timing and organization matter
✨ And leadership, even when absent, is deeply felt and appreciated

We listened.
We learned.
We reflected.

And from this… new agreements were born.
Stronger, clearer, more aligned.

And most importantly…
We took the time to write down our dreams for the future —
and share them with each other.

Dreams of a cleaner island,
of thriving reefs,
of more trees, more life, more connection.

Mentors are rising 🌱
To do more good,
to plant more trees,
to nurture more reefs,
to guide more children.

We are dreaming forward together:
🌊 Beach clean-ups (see you in July with !)
🌊 Measuring the impact — how many kilos of trash can we collect together?
🌊 Weekly reef care — monitoring and cleaning our Bio Rocks
🌊 Planting trees in November, just before the rains 🌳

All of this… for a cleaner island,
for inspired visitors,
for the next generation.

Through eco games, through connection, through action —
we plant seeds of awareness about plastic pollution and care for our planet.

We are so happy to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
A movement for the greater good šŸ’™

With gratitude to Lucy and Will for sharing the joy of aerial silk with us ✨

There is something quietly powerful happening beneath the surface of Gili Air…

A dream taking shape, one coral at a time.

Our Bio Rock is slowly coming to life 🌊✨

What once was just a structure is now becoming a living reef — breathing, growing, sheltering.

A heartfelt thank you to Gili Eco Trust for your continuous support in helping us cover the Bio Rock with corals. Your dedication makes this vision possible.

This is not a small dream…
We dream of surrounding Gili Air with a living wall of coral — protecting the island, restoring marine life, and giving back to the ocean that gives us everything.

Together with Blue Marine, Gili Reef Guardians, and the Gili Reef Guardians Foundation, this vision is becoming real.

And to our sponsors — thank you šŸ™

Today, we celebrate a small, beautiful milestone:
🐢 Two little turtle structures are now covered in coral.

Life is returning. Slowly. Naturally. Powerfully.

We’ll keep you posted as this underwater garden grows…

With love, from below the surface šŸ’™
