Rosa dos Ventos Social
The "Rosa dos Ventos Social" project started in 2012.
I really wanted to see a community of local kitesurfers, so I began sharing an extreme sport that was not very accessible to children and young people in the Cumbuco community, especially women. I was the first athlete in the Cumbuco community and I wanted other girls to be inspired and take advantage of the opportunities that kitesurfing offers. In addition to connecting with nature, the sport fills us with hope.
Sport changed my life and I believe it can change the lives of many young people. Today, we care for 20 children and young people between 4 and 17 years old through the project, providing swimming lessons, English classes, surfing and kitesurfing, and mentoring in competitions. The project has expanded, and we are now in four communities.
We also attach great importance to the environment. Our office is on the beach, and we are aware of the problems the planet is facing. The project also promotes outdoor activities and cleaning efforts to raise environmental awareness.
