They started by opening Afghanistan’s first co-educational skate school. Now the team behind Skateistan — who has created quite an international buzz for combining sports and positive change — is opening up Afghanistan’s first indoor skate park. The project has been in the works for two years, so we’re sure they’re stoked for the official opening. Big kudos to Skateistan for their continued great work.

If you happen to be in Afghanistan — we know there’s got to be some Wend readers out that direction — you can attend the opening ceremony of Kabul’s largest indoor sports facility and skate park on October 29th. More info here.
