WAVES are calling for volunteers
who are looking for the opportunity to travel, surf and work with local
communities in Peru towards social, educational and entrepreneurial
development.
We have all seen that photo of a
lucky person sifting their feet through the soft-white sand on a
paradise island. It tempts us to drop our busy 9-5 work week and escape
to be that lucky person. In Peru, there is a town that makes for a
better experience. It isn’t your typical paradise though.
Lobitos
Oil rigs, the desert, family-owned restaurants, and world class waves all combine to make Lobitos a place for an uncommon volunteer experience. You’ll leave with more than a just temporary tan, though.
Volunteer experience
WAVES for Development is the organisation you want to work with to create these lasting memories. Located in Lobitos, Peru, WAVES provides volunteers the opportunity to surf, have fun and make a difference at the same time. A typical day for a volunteer begins with a ‘dawn patrol’, morning surf at one of the many world class breaks Lobitos has to offer. After having one of the best sessions of your life, you might find yourself creating a community garden, teaching English at a local school, or working with local entrepreneurs to create a bullet-proof business plan. Afterwards, you may choose to go for another surf, or continue your work, or maybe just take a siesta in the heat of the day. Just don’t forget to eat at one of the many family-owned cevicherias for lunch.
WAVES for Development
Wherever your interests lie, WAVES can fulfil while ensuring community needs are met. WAVES provides opportunities for the community to capitalise on the influx of surf-tourism. In addition to providing life-enriching experiences to volunteers, WAVES strives for lasting volunteer impact. Who knows? Maybe your return trip will find you eating at a restaurant that you helped start! Or you might even find yourself speaking to a soon to be sponsored surfer who you taught the importance of determination and dreaming. Before searching for the next paradise island, give yourself a chance to create experiences in a place you’ll least expect with an organisation that will do just that.
