Skateistan!
The New York Times published an article/video last week about an Australian man named Oliver Percovich, who has worked hard for two years to create Skateistan – Afghanistan’s first skateboarding school. Hit “more” to watch the video and I’m sure you’ll be as inspired by the story as I am!

dude, thats crazy. I like how they explained their feeling when they skate.
amazing. some people are truly altruistic. good on ‘em.
This is a really great story. I’m glad to see Oliver getting some support and funding. It’ll be interesting to see what will happen to this group in a few years.
Yea I love seeing the kids going all out trying to ride over that ledge
Great video. Its so good to see the kids smiling and getting the chance to be kids – and touching to see someone just seeing a need for it and going ahead and doing something about it. I wish him all the best for the school.
What a wonderful story…hopefully things work out for Oliver and he can continue to bring that kind of inspiration (skating) to more children.
Eakins or his circle of friends during Eakins’s lifetime.
great initiative, really impressive, I hope it keeps going !
I’m the only one in this world. Can please someone join me in this life? Or maybe death…
