Description

An organization that helps the less fortunate youngsters to surf the waves of Zorritos beach. As such the kids stay off the streets bored, get serious exercise, train team spirit, and as more tourists rightfully find their way to this little piece of paradise, they will be able to work as the best surf teachers. That way we also try to help the kids with big dream whom have less opportunities. One part of the project is giving surf classes to the children. The other part is giving English classes, teach about the environment, learn to play together in the neighborhood and in a little primary school nearby. The kids from the neighborhood get three English classes a week from the volunteers, as well in the primary school . Some parts are still starting up, like the English classes, other parts, like the surf classes are well developed. The volunteers are expected to be creative with a hands on approach. At the same time you will be able to work in a small scale project where you can make a satisfying difference with your own genuine input!
