Hi, my name is Ignacio Rey de Castro and I have been part of GIN for over five years now. I have participated in over five GIN conferences around the world. Additionally, I have had the opportunity to help organize a conference at my school! My school’s conference was named PeruGIN and focused on sharing Peruvian culture and traditions with the wider GIN community. In GIN I have been able to explore my passion for learning while also developing a project to battle one of the global issues threatening life on earth. During my time as part of the GIN community, I have created a project to tackle biodiversity and ecosystem losses. My group and I have developed an organic pesticide to replace toxic chemical pesticides around the world. We have successfully spread the use of our organic pesticide throughout our community reducing the use of toxic chemicals in our ecosystems. Additionally, in the last year, I have embarked on a new GIN journey, the very rewarding GAP program. I have been able to further develop my team working skills while also helping to manage and organize the logistics behind GIN. I completed an internship in the logistics department and I am proud to say that now I am a permanent member of the department. Throughout my experience in GAP, I have been able to meet many individuals from across the world who have the same goal: saving the world. I am a very passionate and hardworking individual and the GAP program has allowed me to channel that passion in order to become a true change-maker.
