SkatePAL

SkatePal is a non-profit organisation which works with communities throughout Palestine to enhance the lives of young people and promote the benefits of skateboarding.

I was one of 20 volunteers from the UK to take part in the Design, Build, Skate 2014 project to create two skate-parks in the Palestinian Territories. While I had originally planned to fully participate in both the design and construction of the skateparks, unforeseen circumstances made it difficult to travel to the area.

I raised funds for the project and worked on the initial planning in Edinburgh, continuing to support the in-country group by building digital models of the sites.
