I've found an online course in Marine Biology that I'm going to do before I leave.
I will get an exam certificate from it and I know it probably doesn't have any academic points, I still think that it will show that I am interested and dedicated in learing more about our environment.

The disaster in the Philippines
If you want to donate to someone where the majority of you money goes to the actual project, donate through http://www.kayavolunteer.com/Philippines-Appeal.html
If you want to volunteer helping the Philippino-community I suggest you reach out through Kaya, they are serious, dedictated and put most of your donation when volunteering to the projects.
http://www.kayavolunteer.com/projects/Building-Project-in-the--Philippines.html
What makes Kaya stands out compared to other volunteer organisations is that they make sure most of your payment goes to the project you volunteer for but also that they are thinking of you, and a really involved in making sure that you as a volunteer is doing alright.
I know from personel experience, after volunteering through them twice, that they are very dedicated and have you as a volunteer as a top priority.
What makes them even better is that the money you pay actually go to the project you volunteer at.
For helping the people in the Philippines there are also the amazing veterans:

Products for your skin...
When you are looking for the perfect solution for your skin, you have many brands to choose from that are really good, but when you also have the environment as an important factor it gets much more difficult. It's not just about finding products that are not tested on animals, it is also a question of finding products that don't have a negative impact on the environment. The impact on the environment can be the way they produce it but also which is just as important how it is (or not is) biodegradeable with no negative environmental impact.
I've been using REN for a long time because my skin loves it. But getting more educated I needed to know what to use that is good for my skin but also produced by a company that realise the impact beauty products have on the environment.
After e-mailing REN I realised that they are aware and they do produce products that are not only good for your skin but is also environmental ok to use.
What I like with REN is that they take the questions you ask very seriously and really take their time to send you an answer.
They also give you the option to send your empty bottles free of charge back to them for recycling!
Their products are not tested on animals and they are concerned of animal testing.
They also donate a minimum of 2.5% of their profits to campaigns that promote a better environment and a better life for those less fortunate than ourselves. In recent years they have made major donations to Crisis, Children In Need, dEBra and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
I will continue to use REN, and will test their products on my adventure where my skin will be in a new environment.

Today I got my certificate in Advanced Marine Science from TRACC, I am so happy and grateful for all the people supporting and helping me getting this exam. They believed in me when I doubted my ability to pass.
Now my goal is to educate myself more both on Koh Tao with New Heaven Diveschool and also with internet-courses.
