My name is Esleider and I am living in the community of Tierrabomba, in Colombia. Thanks to Amigos del Mar Foundation, I can go surfing after school. Amigos del Mar Foundation is a Colombian NGO that fosters development through sport, education and entrepreneurship in the community of Tierrabomba. 

  • I am Esleider and I go surfing after school. I enjoy very much surfing because I am having fun. Today, I raise my #WhiteCard, as a sign of support to peace-through-sport initiatives.
