We all matter

Surfers with "diffabilities"

‘We all matter’ is a portrait series that brings light to the topic of inclusion.    These surfers are people, mainly children, with Autism Spectrum, Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, and various medical conditions.   The series shows the strength, 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’.
