‘We all matter’ is a portrait series that bring light to the topic of inclusion. 
 
These surfers are people, mainly children, with Autistic Spectrum, Cerebral Palsy, Downs Syndrome and various medical conditions.
 
The series shows the strenght, the perseverance, and the adaptations people can show if they get the right support and opportunities to develop their talents.
 
The initiative ‘Smile and Waves’ of the Believe in Schatzi NPO is leading the way for adaptive surfing in South Africa. Lessons are held in Muizenberg, Cape Town. They’d rather call it people with ‘diffabilities’ than ‘disabilities’.
