Yvonne
In the south of Lima, in the Chorrillos neighbourhood, life can be more difficult than in other areas of the city. Daily violence, drugs and delinquency are the realities faced by young people in the neighbourhood. It is not easy to avoid this situation and women are more vulnerable just for that reason…because they are women.
The NGO Alto Peru has been working for years with the neighbourhood and working to prevent these young people from entering into the risk of social exclusion. Sport is one of their tools and Ivonne is a clear example of overcoming and willpower. In the sea she feels free and surfing gives her that direct contact with the element.
The strength in her eyes and her presence made working with her so easy…the project is in its infancy, we were hit by the SARS 19 pandemic, but we hope we can continue as soon as possible.
