crossconnectmag: Jessica Fulford-Dobson Captures Skateboarding Making a Difference for Girls in AfghanistanAustralian Oliver Perch started the organization Skateistan when children flocked to him while he skateboarded in Kabul, Afghanistan. It seems that skateboarding is an international language, and Skateistan now creates skateboard parks, gives skateboards, and educates children in three countries – Afghanistan, Cambodia, and South African. In Afghanistan girls are not allowed to ride bikes, but they can skateboard and go to school thanks to Skateistan. Jessica Fulford-Dobson has captured some award winning pictures of these lovely young women as they play. Visit the official website for Skateistan if you would like help this program empower young people. Thanks to Modern Met and Workman’s Tumblr.Find more empowering art at our Facebook Page.
