Help make a difference!

WAVES for Development creates life-enriching experiences in coastal communities through Educational Surf Programs. 

They also engage travellers & transform their world view and appreciation of local issues. WAVES* relies on volunteers, contributors and charitable donations to help deliver these programs.

Volunteering

In October 2010 Ben Ellis** is travelling to Lobitos, Peru as a volunteer to help WAVES with the program. In the run up to his trip he is raising funds and awareness for WAVES. This is where YOU can help.

How you can help

Please help support WAVES by making a generous donation via www.firstgiving.com/wavesfordevelopment. or via the WAVES donate page. Your money goes directly to WAVES. It doesn't fund the trip in ANY WAY. ALL expenses (including flights, accommodation, subsistence etc.) will be self-funded and the work Ben is doing is COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY and UNPAID.

Your donations in action

Your money will help WAVES continue to carry out their important work within the community of Lobitos in northern Peru. All donations are greatly appreciated, no matter how small the amount.
