Life Story: My mother left my father when my brother and I were still small children. It was a hard time for my father, trying to earn money to feed us, take care of the household and raise us. As my father worked on the beach we were always hanging out there, with no real home to go to. Then thanks to SISP we got the chance to go to school and the social workers helped my father in finding a real house for us. Now my big brother and me are going to a good private school, with a scholarship of SISP and have a home to go to at night.



Surf Experience and Motivation: Since I was a small boy I was always on the beach, playing with my brother. I didn’t really know how to swim, but little by little my father taught me. Jelle always use to give me a bodyboard to practice on. I really love to play in the ocean and now I am a little bit stronger I can start to surf as well and ride the waves like the bigger boys.
