We are forming a student group called a WAVES Corps at University of Maryland that is taking a trip to Peru to assist in the construction of a community surf center.

The center is part of WAVES for Development, a US, Swiss and Peru based 501c3. Learn more about WAVES at the website www.wavesfordevelopment.org

The center will house WAVES' surf retail location which employs local youth, a business incubation program, a food service training program and provide a meeting area for the community.

The building is being built utilizing earthbag construction, a sustainable, safe, and cost effective method of building. Part of the construction process will be to teach locals how to build with earthbags to improve their own living structures.

Thank you for considering donating to our trip so we can actively experience development work in the 3rd world!
