About the local hosting organization
Our partner is a community based organization that aims at preserving and protecting mangrove forest to maintain ecology system and increase lives in the sea such as crap, fish, shrimp, etc. so that fishermen can stay and earn income in their community without migrating to other countries. CYA have been working with TFC since 2012 to support their initiative and through our cooperation in 2014, TFC became a popular eco - tourism site receiving hundreds of tourists every weeks.

Rabbit Island, or "Rabit Island," is a peaceful haven with its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for snorkeling.
