by The Daily Eye Team June 18 2014, 8:59 am Estimated Reading Time: 1 min, 21 secsA journey to share the stories of South Asia’s first surfer girls to create media and educational tools that inspire us to live in possibility of our dreams. Surfing Possibility: Stories of India and Bangladesh’s First Surfer Girls is a sponsored project of Moving Train, Inc., a non-profit organization that funds documentary films. Contributions to Surfing Possibility: Stories of India and Bangladesh’s First Surfer Girls must be made payable to Moving Train, Inc. and are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” This Fall, Farhana of Brown Girl Surf (www.browngirlsurf.com) and Cara of Storytellers for Good (www.storytellersforgood.com) will embark on an epic adventure traveling to India and Bangladesh to meet South Asia’s first female surfers. We want YOU to come along for the ride and be a part of our “Surfing Possibility” family (see perks)! WHY WE ARE GOING: We deeply believe in the empowerment of women and girls. We believe that capturing images and stories of female bravery and risk taking in traditionally conservative cultures contributes to creating a culture to level the playing field for women and girls and inspires people to go after their dreams. The surfer girls of South Asia have taken risks against huge societal barriers to do what they love and feel their stories need to be highlighted. We want to take you on a journey with us to meet our surfing sisters, and to share some of their stories with you.
