Project Iran

Straddling the border between East and West, Iran is home to one of the oldest civilizations on Earth.

Get ready to explore this rich and ancient part of the world the best way possible: by also making a difference and saving lives with ISLA! In 2016, ISLA begin plans with Waves of Freedom Co-Founder Dr. Easkey Britton to support her initiatives on the ground in the South Eastern part of Iran.

Waves of Freedom set out in 2010 to launch a community building project revolving around teaching surfing and water sports to the communities of Baluchistan. What started as a surf lesson for girls and women in the communities, turned into a lesson that redefined and empowered those women through community, friendship and the ocean. It has also grown to involve many others in the community and draw them closer through the ocean.

With the increase in surfing and water activities, ISLA is setting out to support the initiatives of Waves of Freedom and the communities by providing lifesaving training, and lifesaving supplies to the area. ISLA will be conducting a training course that will give the community the skills they need to save lives in the years to come.

This is a great opportunity to visit a place few people have ever seen yet that spans back as a thriving civilizations for thousands of years, and share your skill sets to save lives!

Please note! ISLA is conducting this application process many months in advance. This gives our admin team adequate time to prepare the right paperwork to make sure this mission is a success. ISLA is working directly with our hosts in Iran to coordinate country entries and visas, and all accepted volunteers will be notified and briefed on this process.
