Skate4Kenya

When was the last time you went for a skate to benefit someone other than yourself? Interesting concept. When we go out and shed gnar it’s typically in an effort to better our skills. Don’t get too agro – we all skate for self improvement and that should never change. However wouldn’t it be amazing to go for a skate that would benefit someone else?

Les Roberston from Skate4Kenya is about to trek across Africa with nothing more than a Demonseed, camping supplies, a camera, and a bundle of good will. Les and his crew are supporting a cause called Social Entrepreneurship 101 which has a mission to:

“uplift the lives of African youth and their communities through sustainable entrepreneurship.”

Les has just started his trip and is now struggling with some very interesting decisions. The first being “slum tourism” which has been pointed out as often more harmful than good.  Les comments on this very topic in his latest post “Why I Skate 4 Kenya“. We couldn’t agree more Les its all about the  2% for now. Keep on pushing! The rest will follow suite.
