Experience report from the surf project in South Africa

A particularly nice part, in addition to the surfing lessons, which are suitable for both beginners and advanced surfers, are the excursions to sights such as Table Mountain and Lions Head. Snorkeling or a trip to a penguin colony or seal colony are still good memories. Depending on what is desired, Daniel responds (as far as possible) to the wishes. 

Selina's time in South Africa

I took part in the surf project in Cape Town for 4 weeks. I was accommodated in a hostel, where surfing is really lived, which is why it was easy to find like-minded people to surf, but also to do other things.

Work in the surf project

The project itself is not only about teaching the children how to surf, but also about supporting them in school matters, such as homework. However, the children's psyche also plays a role, and to help them with this, a kind of talk therapy is carried out from time to time. Taken together, these three things offer the children a good basis for later having a future according to their wishes.

The best thing about the project

A particularly nice part, in addition to the surfing lessons, which are suitable for both beginners and advanced surfers, are the excursions to sights such as Table Mountain and Lions Head. Snorkeling or a trip to a penguin colony or seal colony are still good memories. Depending on what is desired, Daniel responds (as far as possible) to the wishes. In summary, I can recommend the project to everyone, it was a very good mix of work and leisure.
