| Hi. I have not long since come back from Volunteering with the Surf Outreach programme through Twin. It was a great project, very worthwhile. Typically, you are expected to work at the surf school from 3 till 5pm weekdays. It takes about 15mins to walk there from the very homely, clean backpackers lodge where you will no doubt meet some interesting characters as I did! Everyone I met at the lodge was lovely. The kids at surf school where great too - demanding and challenging, yet good fun to work with! There is also an option to do shifts at the backpackers/lodge - this basically means sitting back in the hammock waiting for the phone to ring! This surf school however clearly is run on a shoestring - it relies on donations and handouts. There are trained surf instructors to hand everyday but they rely on volunteers greatly due to their lake of funds. I had an absolute scream from start to finish thanks to the people I worked with, the travellers at the lodge and the kids. Highly recommended :-) |
