Ibo Island Lodge, the lodge Kevin and I have dreamed of for all these years, has been a labour of love. Not only by ourselves, but by the local people of Ibo Island.
We had a huge responsibility to show the local community on Ibo the power that sustainable eco-tourism could have on their island, on their lives and on the lives of their children. We were not just building a lodge. We were constructing hopes and dreams for a future.
We were determined to work with the people of Ibo and so one of the fist things we did was build a community school, and it was free of charge to anyone from the community who wished to attend English, hospitality and tourism training.
