There is still hope...

[YCW]

Because of my love for diving and marine life, my 6-year-old daughter too has developed the love for them. Below is a drawing she drew last week, all from her memories of the pictures, books and documentaries that she has seen, thought I share it with everyone here:



That's her idea of a dive site. Well, with barracuda, octopus, crab, nudibranch, turtle, frog fish, hermit crab, star fish..., you certainly don't want to miss it .

There is still hope yet for our future, educate the young...

Hi All

If the ocean was still like that .....full of fish....Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I remember doing childhood drawings like that. You've certainly got a future diver on your hands there!

My sister works for the World Wildlife Fund, and with her husband's support (and aided and abetted by me!) is teaching her children to love the sea. When we went to Ningaloo recently and snorkled with whalesharks, the eldest - who turns three this coming Friday - insisted that we have the DVD of the dive and snorkling we did that day played on continual loop. Watching it, the 18 month old - desperately frustrated because she can only say a few words so far - grabbed a brochure with a whaleshark on it and took it to her mother - emphatically pointing at it and then at the screen. She loves her critters!

Asked the soon-to-be-three year old what he wanted for his birthday. 'Whaleshark!' came the immediate reply. I'm decorating a cake for in the shape of one.

If they're exposed to this world early enough, most kids love it!

Frame it and keep it safe, so when your daughter is a mum, she can show it to her kids and explain what used to be in the ocean when she was little.

Cheers
