Just me and my surfboard! Another session of the surfing course at Zoharim Youth Village – as part of the My Wave Program

The pupils of Zoharim Youth Village arrive at the youth village after having lost their confidence in themselves and their surroundings. The difficulties that they have experienced, their sense of failure and self-destruction have led them to really dangerous situations; however, they did not give up and chose to change their lives and succeed. At Zoharim Youth Village, the pupils are given a special opportunity to ‘ride the waves’ and make a significant change in their lives, through an experience of surfing the waves, which prepares them to cope with the forces of the sea. Coping with the sea is comparable to coping with other challenges that the youth encounter in their daily lives – they fall, there are disappointments, countless trials and a great deal of patience is required until they succeed. And when they succeed – their sense of pride remains with them outside the sea as well. A collaboration with My Wave Organization
