So rad to see that a skatepark has been built via Crowd Funding in Ethiopia. And even better to see this pic of a young girl learning to skate for the first time.

Ethiopian cities Bahir Dar and Awassa also have skate collectives, thanks in part to smooth roads which locals say are perfect for indy grabs.
