Story
Hello, Im going to be travelling Jordan, Amman for a month to help out on the 7hills loaner program. The program has been running sine the park was built in 2014 by the charity https://makelifeskatelife.org/projects/jordan/ - we cooperate with local NGO's to cooperate weekly skate classes, and develop a loaner program with skateboards that are free to use at the skatepark. The goal of the loaner program is to provide a safe place for leisure and physical education for refugee youth and other vulnerable groups. At 7Hills Skatepark, we currently offer different weekly skate classes with Sudanese families, and Iraqi and Syrian urban refugees. Once a week, we offer Palestinian youth from the Gaza camp in Jerash the opportunity to skate at 7Hills Skatepark. During the various skate classes, our team is being supported by local Jordanian youth. In addition to our activities at 7Hills Skatepark, we organize regular outreach sessions at Zaatari, the largest Syrian refugee camp in Jordan, and the Palestinian Gaza camp in Jerash. Any Funding will go towards new equipment and expansions to the rapidly growing demand for the progam. (see link for more information).
Thanks, Stanley
