Cape Town - A local non-profit organisation, Sentinel Ocean Alliance (SOA), is encouraging at-risk youth from Hout Bay to swim against the tide of their realities in underprivileged coastal communities and participate in their immersive programmes promoting ocean-based opportunities and environmental education.
SOA operations director Marguerite Kimberley said their mission was to address some of the disparities between advantaged and disadvantaged communities by creating opportunities for under-served coastal communities and at-risk youth at Hout Bay.
“In order to change mindsets and behaviours, and uplift and empower local communities, in partnership with international organisation Parley, Sentinel Ocean Alliance has established the first permanent Parley Ocean School in Hout Bay,” said Kimberley.
