foundation soul surf project Bali Details
During a surfholiday in Bali in 2007, Rodney Westerlaken (NL) found that surfing is the way to put a smile on the faces of orphans. That was enough for him to turn his life upside down. Back in Holland he started soul surf project Bali. This project creates awareness of the orphans own opportunities aswell as their natural environment. "My goal is to introduce orphans to surfing and let them enjoy the beauty of nature." Rodney Westerlaken in Salt, May / June '08 In order to be able to join the surflessons, the children have to follow a educational program first. With this program the children learn to respect nature. This respect is then again forced to enjoy by the elements that nature gives: the power of the waves. The ultimate goal for soul surf project Bali is not just about creating opportunities for young surftalents, but also to encourage children to develop themselves and to stand up for Mother Nature.Since 2012 soul surf project Bali opened the 1st eco surf shop in Indonesia. This shop is non profit and funds the work of the foundation.
