Dear Mr / Mrs :

My name is Yeray, and I am interested in working in any of your summer camps. I have a long history of experience as a play worker and instructor. You can review my previous works in my attached CV.
I have been developing my fluency in English working as a waiter in London, and now, I am ready to work in the recreation and leisure service with English as my main language. I am able to lead a team, program a variety of activities and handle difficult situations. I am known by my good sense of humor and my knowledge and skills in various activities (sports, playing the guitar, stackline, body percusion, magic tricks, etc.…). I enjoy working with children and teenagers, and they have a good time with me as well. For these reasons, I believe that I have adequate skills to work at your summer camp.
I am looking forward to an interview. Please give me a call anytime at (My U.K number) , or feel free to text me as well.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Having worked for many hours a day, five weekdays and maybe some weekends, everyone deserves to get away from it all and spare the time close to the nature. Despite that, some people may not consider that maybe nature could even be metaphorically tired and in need of a rest from all “environmental stress” caused by irresponsible tourism.

In order to minimize the problem as well as provide tourists with an environmentally-friendly atmosphere, many governments throughout the world have established what is known as conservation areas. According to the UK government, the designation stands for “an area of notable environmental or historical interest or importance which is protected by law against undesirable changes”.

In Brazil, biological concerns have brought back discussions regarding sustainable development in the country. As a result, the Brazilian government has established many conservation areas which have found out an alternative to avoid impacts associated to certain ways of tourism.

For instance, Fernando de Noronha has apparently solved the problem of ecotourism. The place, in the north of Brazil, matches eco-friendly activities with fun. Due to several projects, that simple recipe has raised money and resources to maintain a sustainable development and its needs in Noronha.

Generally speaking, biological threats, endangered wildlife and many other ecological problems are not always related to tourism. When it comes to a way of tourism that offers fun and education at the same time, the results could live up any expectation.

Besides, tourism is a strong tool to draw public attention to environmental issues and gather together people who are interested in supporting the cause of a better quality of life for them as well as for all the nature. After all, our future depends on it.

The story is set in North Africa, in the afternoon
The sun is hot, very hot
Mansour is at the market, he sells watermelons
He sees a beautiful girl. she’s beautiful. She has got bog brown eyes
The girl’s name is Marissa
“She’s beautiful ! I want to marry her!” Mansour says
Marissa lives in a big house but Manosur doesn’t have a lot of money : Mansour is poor!
Mansour goes to Marissa’s house. he takes some flowers
Marissa’s father opens the door “Sir, I want to marry your daughter” Says Mansour
Marissa’s father likes Mansour
“Do you have any money?”
“Yes, sir” “I’ve got twenty coins”
“Come back when you have five hundred. Then you can marry Marissa!
“Five hundred coins! How can I get five hundred coins?. My uncle! My rich uncle! Perhaps he can give me some money!”
So Mansour goes to his uncle’s house. Manour sees his uncle’s white donkey. It is thin and sad.
“Poor donkey! Are you hungry?”
Mansour gives some coins to a farmer.
“Can I have some hay for this donkey, please? “
The donkey eats the hay and scratches the ground with one foot
“Are you saying thank you?”
Mansour goes into the house. Mansour’s uncle is very old. He looks thin and sad.
“I am not very well, Mansour. I can’t remember anything these days.” Mansour’s uncle says
Mansour makes some tea
“Uncle, there is a beautiful girl. I have to get 500 coins. Then I can marry her. Can you give me some work?”
“I’m sorry, Mansour. I don’t know where my money is. I have no money. and no more food”
They look for the money. they look al day but they can’t see it anywhere
“Oh dear, no money! and no more food! Tomorrow I must sell my donkey. My little white donkey” says the old man sadly
The next day, they go to the market to sell the little white donkey. But no one wants the donkey
“He’s too thin! He’s too old!”
“Here, uncle, take my money and sell your donkey to me.”
‘Thank you Mansour, you are a good boy!”
Mansour’s uncle is very happy. But Mansour has no money now. He only has the donkey
A few weeks later, two men come to see Mansour.
“Mansour, your uncle is dead! but his house is yours. It is old. it is broken but it is your house now.”
Mansour and the donkey walk to the house. The sun is hot. the sun is very hot.
“I have to get 500 coins, donkey. I want to marry Marissa” says Mansour
At last they come to the house. The donkey looks at Mansour and it scratches the ground
“Are you hungry?” Mansour gives the donkey some hay, but the donkey isn’t hungry. It just scratches the ground again
“are you thirsty?” Mansour gives the donkey some water but the donkey isn’t thristy. It just scratches the ground again
“Are you telling me something?”
There is an old spade by the house. Mansour gets the spade
“Do you want me to dig here?”
The donkey scratches the ground. Mansour digs and digs. He digs all day. And then….
He finds a box! a box full of money. he finds his uncle’s money
“Oh! Now I have 500 coins! Now I can marry Marissa! Thank you donkey! You are a good friend, a very good friend!”
The donkey looks at Mansour and smiles
