Join surfing legend Shaun Tomson and actress, surfer, and founder of Surf24 Tanna Frederick, along with a host of other celebrities and pro-surfers as we rock the waves for a full 24 hours to raise money for the oceans we love.

Project Save Our Surf is pleased to announce the second beneficiary of this year’s Surf24 on August 28, 2011. Tumelo Home in Johannesburg, South Africa will be joining Heal the Bay as this year’s beneficiaries.

The Tumelo Home opened its doors in April 1998. Currently, twenty children reside there, as well as providing daycare for the ten of the children. All residents and day visitors are intellectually disabled and there are many with physical disabilities. The Home’s name means faith. Dr. Moses and Mrs. Orina Thindisa were compelled by love and compassion to build the home in Ivory Park, an informal settlement in Midrand, Johannesburg, Gauteng. Three years later, the home was officially opened by the then MEC of Social Development and Welfare, Angie Motshega.
