TODAYS DONATION: Skatepark for Ethiopian Kids

As the first project in my Donate Today project I gave 60kr (10USD) to a project to build the first ever skatepark in Ethiopian history. I will donate 10 USD 10 times a month to contribute to share and distribute wealth in the world and to give some love to awesome projects.

Ethiopia Skate was started by Abenezer Temesgen & Sean Stromsoe in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. 

Here is what they say:

We are in the process of establishing a non-profit organization and have collected an international team of skateboarders and organizers to help promote skateboarding in Ethiopia.
We just want to skate.

We plan to build Ethiopia's first mobile mini halfpipe and move it around the city over the course of 2 weeks. We will teach local kids the basics as they crowd around the ramp. We’ll then put the ramp at accessible location as we build the first ever skatepark in Ethiopian history. We will pass out at least 100 skateboards to youth organizations and local children as well as start manufacturing our own decks. This is only the beginning.
