MANILA, Philippines – Skating is good for you. For proof, you can look to the mountains of Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa.
In the largest city in Ethiopia, Israel Dejene founded Ethio Skate, a project that uses skateboarding to empower and uplift children leading rough lives. Instead of getting into the street life and its influences, kids in the Intoto area of the city skate.
The project’s full name, “Love in Action” Ethio Skate is apt – passionate skaters share their love of the sport with children who need guidance, in the hope that it changes their lives as well. The kids are willing students. For them, skating means recreation, discipline, and even opportunity.
Watch a short video on Ethio Skate below and see the smiles of the children of Addis Ababa.
