Uganda Skateboard Union's Video Preview

buraianrai
Please take a look at the talents of Uganda's original skateboarders. The Uganda Skateboard Union has been successfully operating in a suburb of Kampala for over a year now. The organization is fighting idleness and boredom by introducing skateboarding to disadvantaged youth. The skate park shown in the video is the first and only park in the country and it was built entirely by hand by the youth of the community.

The video shown is a small part of a larger work in progress which will show the construction of the park, the history of the organization, interviews with the skaters, and footage of their progression.

If you like what you see in the video please visit the website www.ugandaskateboardunion.org for more information. And if you really like what you see please give a donation to help this grassroots organization build a new park in a new community.
