Hello everyone,

I am Julia Vitry, and I am currently studying towards an MSc in Environmental Management at the Open University UK.

I am passionate about scuba diving and especially about the beauty and peace of the underwater world. I have recently created an Instagram account to freely share with the world the incredible underwater wildlife of Mauritius. 

Having at heart the need for a more sustainable Mauritius, I have written a few articles (attached pdf) in one of the local newspapers to sensitise people about the importance of caring for our environment.  With the desire to have a more active contribution to the sustainability domain, I enrolled for the MSc in Environmental Management in 2019. 

As a means to finance my studies, I have been working as a secondary school Biology teacher while studying this online course.  After a lot of hard work, I have successfully completed three modules and am currently completing the fourth one (as per the attached document); and have the final dissertation (research project) left to complete the qualification.  However, due to the pandemic and the depreciation of the Mauritian rupee, I am unable to pay for the research project (latest registration date for the module being the 25th November 2021). 

I provide here a link to the module details: https://msds.open.ac.uk/students/study/postgraduate/course/t802 

The sum collected includes the module fee (document attached) + the transfer fee (rupee to pounds).

Your support will be much appreciated in helping me complete my studies.   

Thank you
