In a country destroyed by bombs some kids decided to jump on their boards against all this mass destruction and the result is Skateistan. A Kabul-based Afghan NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) which is non political and includes all the religions ethnicities and social backgrounds. Since two australian guys dropped their boards in Kabul in 2007, they were surrounded by lots of kids that wanted to learn how to skate. A group of afghan friends who were naturals at skateboarding shared their three boards, the next step was to bring more boards and establish an indoor skateboarding avenue. Now they've got a skate park since october 2009. They teach both female and male and transcending social barriers.
Wanna show your tricks? You can become a volunteer for six months in Afghanistan! All expenses will be paid including travel, visa and living costs!
