Five months after the major flood in Porto Alegre, the Skate Na Vila project was finally able to restart its activities. We were very happy to help rebuild their skatepark with the help of our volunteers in Brazil and everyone who participated in the #rebuildthevila campaign. Long live Skate Na Vila and many thanks to those who joined us in this mission.
Southern Brazil is facing its biggest catastrophe ever with more than 400 cities affected, where around 600,000 people had to leave their homes so far. We need your support more than ever. The Vila San Terezinha neighborhood (Skate Na Vila) is still under water from the flooding in Porto Alegre. The families and kids are dispersed across shelters. Our mission now is to help rebuild the Vila community when the water recedes. This is where it all started for us. Thank you for your love and support!
While waiting for the water to recede we've partnered with the Spliff Maffia crew in Porto Alegre to bring skateboards to kids displaced in shelters. "Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." - Desmond Tutu
