The First Skate Park In Africa
Wayfaring offers a glimpse at the first skate park in East Africa, situated in a working class suburb of Kampala, Uganda. The park was created both for and by local kids, without assistance from either NGOs or government. The skate park could be described as both a source of pride and empowerment, a space that not only keeps kids out of trouble, but fosters the development of a real sense of community. It’s a real dream.
