Hi,

I hope this finds you well.  I am writing to ask if the volunteer organization I founded could be included in any emails sent to students interested in unique volunteer opportunities, as well as posted on your website.

Eco Surf Volunteers combines the tropical wonder of South America's finest untouched beaches and year-round surfing (for any level) with hands-on humanitarian and environmental volunteer projects. It is our goal to facilitate opportunities for student-volunteers to impact our global community in positive ways while becoming immersed in foreign cultures.

For our Summer 2009 Volunteer Project, we are excited to be taking two groups of 20 college-aged volunteers to the small coastal village of Canoa, Ecuador.  During the months of June and August, Eco Surf Volunteers will build new playground equipment from recycled materials for the village's elementary school, as well as implement an English Language Educational Program where our volunteers will teach local children to speak English through arts and crafts.  In return for their hard work, a group of Canoan surfers have offered to take our volunteers surfing at the best local surf spots.  Volunteers with little to no surf experience are offered two hours daily surf instruction.  Excursions visiting a local indigenous tribe, rehabilitated  mangrove wildlife sanctuary, Humpback whale-watching and remote tropical beaches round out the educational adventure.

Currently our North American sponsors include Quiksilver Foundation, Orange County Fire Authority, Ocean Minded, Victory Wetsuits, and Soleo Sun Block to name a few.

You may like to visit our updated website<http://www.ecosurfvolunteers.com> or take a look at some photos of our most recent adventure on Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=36410608420> and Flickr<http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecosurfvolunteers>.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, requests, etc.  I am available both by email and by phone.

Thank you for your support.
