Hello everybody, since the last report a lot has happened in our skateboarding project here in Dominican Republic. Did you all followed our skate contest in June on Facebook and Instagram? It was such a great event and we will definitely repeat it again by the end of the year!
Since this school year, we have successfully integrated skateboarding into the first grade curriculum of the Dominino Children's Fund. The 15 first graders are now getting skate lessons twice a week in the morning. In addition, we are proud to welcome more and more girls in our skate classes!
Another top news is that the Fly&Help foundation is providing us with 10,000 euros to expand the skatepark. Now only 3.500 Euro are missing to start construction in January. The existing park is to be extended by a street and beginner area. About every donation we are happy to reach our goal! This summer we started making official SAN SKATE fanny bags and there are still a few available. For just 15 dollars (plus shipping) you can get yours and it goes straight as a 100% donation to SAN SKATE! Check out the photos and send us a message if interested :)
Thanks so much for all of your support!
Best wishes and abrazos desde Santo Domingo,
Izzy & Miguel from SAN SKATE
