What does a 14-year-old Afghan girl dream about for her future? How has skateboarding changed the life of a teenage boy who used to wash cars in the streets of Kabul? How does it feel to ride down a skateboard ramp and start going to school for the first time in one day? How can sport, education, and skateboarding create change?
This December we’re aiming to raise $35,000 USD and we need your help! By joining our biannual fundraising drive you can empower Afghan and Cambodian youth.
Including the world’s most famous pro skateboarder, Tony Hawk, and longtime supporter from Zero Skateboards Jamie Thomas, this video looks at how lives of our students, staff, and supporters have changed since they’ve become a part of Skateistan, what their plans are for the future, and how together we can ‘Keep Skateistan Rolling’ into 2014 and beyond.
