This Saturday, October 15, we successfully added another surf clinic to our history, but on this occasion it not only served us to further cultivate our skills as surfers, but also to realize that people with disabilities can also help others, and that inclusion is not only about opening accessible spaces for people with disabilities but about including and respecting all of us as a society, with our particular characteristics and circumstances, regardless of what they are.

This is thanks to the fact that for the first time our participants were not only children with disabilities but we also had 10 children from the foster home. FUNDAVID, an institution that shelters and gives a home to children who experience violence in their families.

We also have the collaboration of the students of the Coastal University Center (CUC) and of CETMAR, who assisted as volunteers in our clinic as part of the social work programs that these educational institutions support, fulfilling the requirement for students to graduate.

This new experience teaches us that sport and surfing do not bring people together in very different circumstances, but rather that by having a good cause and a common goal we can support each other regardless of our life circumstances.
