We went down to Bordeaux to visit SURF INSERTION, an Association dedicated to working with children and young adults from unfavored neighborhoods.
Since 1997, Surf Insertion educates youth in the protection and respect for the environment to preserve the natural integrity of the Aquitaine Region and it’s coastline, by educating eco-citizen reflexes. With the help of practical educational and cultural tools, Surf Insertion accompanies youth in many activities that enhance self-esteem, contact with others and the relationship with the environment.
Through Sports, the aim of Surf Insertion is to enable young people to discover their cultural heritage, to help them live in harmony with one and other and create an authentic dynamic insertion in today’s society.
SURF INSERTION has worked with tens of thousands of youths with very little support and resources; LANEO is going to start sponsoring them this summer and we hope you will spread the news about this small, little known and humble organization that changes the lives of many and cleans up our outdoor playground at the same time !
Our applause for the team.
We were at the PARIS MARATHON EXPO yesterday, mingling with the 75+ brands and events that had booths there and a handful of the 35,000 runners who came to get their registration bag.
