Skateistan have made a small video update to encourage people to donate this December, for their bi-annual fundraising drive.
Working with children between five and eighteen, Skateistan connect Afghan and Cambodian youth – in their HQs in Kabul and Phnom Penh – to education and community through free skate lessons and jams in their safe spaces.
With your help they can provide local children with shoes, stationery and other equipment to keep them rolling long into 2014. Check out the video for more information.
You can donate to Skateistan through their website.
