New Skate Ramp in the Village

There is a new mini ramp in the little town where we were living in Peru. Two months ago, it hadn’t even been thought of, but thanks to the chance meeting of 2 super keen travellers – Ollie and Hanes, the kids up the hill who live with next to nothing, now have a skate ramp to call their own.

It has been amazing to see the progress of the ramp from an inspired idea, to pieces of wood, to a playground in the desert village where kids can’t wait to play at 3pm every day. It took just over one month to see the kids ripping on the ramp, and 5 of them are already dropping in.

The blog for the skate ramp is: http://introductiontotheproject.blogspot.com/
