“Work with children and teach the underprivileged to surf”.
The program runs daily – Monday to Friday. Our aim is to help the children whilst adding hope into their lives. David and Fiona and the Team, says: "They started the project to give something back to South Africa. They were saddened to see the underprivileged children Suffering. They wanted the children to experience some Joy and love, so they decided to do something about it!” We give the children encouragement by teaching them new skills. These children are from very poor backgrounds. We encourage the children and continue to introduce a good foundation into their lives to teach them life skills, by running educational Programmes – We are teaching the children new skills such as: Surfing, Soccer, Literacy and Reading, Computer literacy and programming, African Drumming and Creative movement, Arts and Crafts program, Ocean Conservation and Environmental Education. Your help and assistance in running these Projects will be much appreciated. These projects run throughout the year. Each project runs at a different time of the year, however the Surfing and Educational Programmes run throughout the Year.
Being an intern involves being responsible as you will be seen as ’staff ‘ within the running and Management of the projects.
