Van Chats with Tom Walker

You would struggle to find a more genuine, selfless person than Gareth Shanthikumar. He has followed his passion for helping others to the Northern Villages of Sri Lanka, where he works with the Om Shanti Foundation to restore the lives of families that were destroyed in the civil war. Today we talk about the charity, how they help rebuild lives through micro businesses and taking any opportunity that comes your way.

I first met Clay Western a few years ago when surfing at Ocean Beach down in Denmark. Always welcoming, we developed a friendship through my frequent visits down to his picturesque town in search of swell. We caught up the last time he was in Perth to discuss music inspiration, the impact of surf on life, pushing your comfort zone and being true to yourself. Clay can be reached via email at claywesternn@gmail.com or on the following: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/claywesternmusic/ Instagram - @clay_western If you have any questions, you can contact me on: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ttomwalkerr/ Instagram - @ttomwalker Website - www.ttomwalkerr.com.au

Jemma Scott, aka @thesalty.dreamers, is a photographer, writer and artist. I first met Jem back when we trained together for Surf Lifesaving. Her creative style of photography has always been a massive inspiration on my own style, no one views the world with a creative eye like hers. Whether it’s with a disposable film camera or DSLR, her imagery encompasses the spiritual ocean lifestyle. I was lucky to catch up with Jemma between her adventures to ask her a couple of questions about her lifestyle as a creative on the road. Instagram - @ttomwalkerr Website - www.ttomwalker.com.au
