"Our greatest glory is not to never fall, but to get up every time." -Nelson Mandela-
Thank You, Merci Beaucoup, Muchas Gracias...
The entire skate-aid team would like to thank you very much for the great support, your great commitment and the awesome cooperation.
We wish you a merry and peaceful Christmas and a healthy and successful Happy New Year.

After 2 weeks, the exchange program between Münster's and Windhoek's schools is already over. In addition to many students, our project manager in Namiba, Adolf Kinda, was also present. New ideas were discussed and plans for 2019 were finalized. 2018 was great...2019 will be even better.

In the third year of their collaboration, skate-aid and innogy can once again look back on a successful season and can even report a record: 800 kids took part in the workshops that we organized together during the past summer and autumn vacations. As a result, 21 municipalities from North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony were able to offer this special holiday program. There will be free holiday workshops again in 2019 and we are already looking forward working together again. Dates and information will follow shortly.

"Celebrate and support!" - The 13th edition of the C&A skate-aid-night supported by innogy remained true to its traditional motto and set hearts aflame for a good cause. Around 300 guests, including celebrities such as Wotan Wilke Möhring and Simon Gosejohann, enjoyed a great, interesting and very entertaining charity gala evening that left nothing to be desired. As in the previous year, the willingness to donate was extraordinary and the result from the previous year was even exceeded.

Once again, skate-aid and SOS Children’s Villages cooperate to build a skate park and start on October 17, 2018 a crowdfunding campaign on startnext.com for that reason. The skate park will be built in spring 2019 near Damascus if the funding is successful. Help us to give back the Syrian kids a little bit of their high spirits and easiness!

Last week we visited our project partner in Kampala/Uganda. On our itinerary were, among other subjects, work reviews, discussion of further steps, the finalization of the expansion of the skate park and an installation of a solar light equipment. Project manager Jack and the Uganda Skateboard Union are doing an amazing job and together we look into a positive future.

The 8 year old hearing impaired rookie skateboarder Dalon from Windhoek, Namibia, at the moment, when he figured out, that he’s on the cover of the current skate-aid-Magazine. The expression in his eyes says it all!
