Hello everybody, it's time for an update on our Skateboarding project !
In the last month our Skate Coach Miguel joined me on a Trip to Germany! Not only for vacation but more to take part in some important skateboard events like the Skate Week with different Contests in Düsseldorf. We also had the chance to meet skate legend Mike Vallely at the “Old School Skate Jam” at Northbrigade, Cologne. We received a lot of donations and surprised our Kids in DR with new skateboards, clothes and other skate stuff !
While we were out of the Country our “Junior Coach” Osvaldo was taking care of the project here in Dominican Republic. He gave skate lessons three times a week and also recruited new kids. We are really proud of this young adult who finished High School and will soon start studying at University :)
For the following months we have a lot of plans: We are finally going to get our Container, which we are converting to our official SAN SKATE youth club. Wohooo!
Note: For the conversion of the container (windows, door, etc.) and the establishment of our official youth club we are still looking for donations. We will need tables, chairs, shelves and lockable storage cabinets. A cozy sofa corner for a "chill out area" and a football table should offer a safe and comfortable place to visit. Furthermore, we would like to create a small garden to grow together with the kids vegetables and fruits.
Also, we are planing on some skate contests and a bigger Event for the End of Year / Christmas.
Stay tuned, there is a lot more to come! We would like to thank you for every little or big donation, without your help this project would not exist <3
Best regards from Santo Domingo / Dominican Republic,
Isabell
