During the second semester of the Innovation Academy, we have to work on an independent project throughout the whole semester. Here are my choices until now.
Alto Peru, a need for the children
Alto Peru is a non-profit organisation that focuses on helping children learn, interact with a distinct social class and most importantly learn how to surf, yeah thats right, surf. They also give free classes of muaythai, photography, dance, art, music and capoeira. Currently they have worked with over 150 kids -- boys and girls -- and their expending to keep on growing. They want to expand the creativity of each child that they work with. With this, they believe that Peru will slowly increase their education and reduce the level social classes.

Video for College about swimming
When applying to my dream university, I am planning on applying as an athlete -- swimming in particular. For this, it would be a facility to them to have a video which presents what I do, when I do it, how I do it and how good I am doing it. A video is perfect, because with this I would be able to send every university the same video. Sooner of later I will have to do this, but I think that for now, this is a great option because I get to learn a lot, I actually push myself much more while swimming and also, I will learn a lot more about myself as an athlete.
My decision is not clear until now, however, if anything pops up -- I will surly let you guys now. Anyhow, if you have any comments whatsoever, please message me!
