This is a thread to share stories from around the globe that inspire hope. Stories that aren’t in the national/world news necessarily but should be heard. I’ve started two other threads that precede this one but both have since gone inactive so I’m going to give it another go.
The inspiration for thiese threads first came up while reading about a movement in Afghanistan that reaches out to mostly girls to help them get an education and hope thru skateboarding. Girls have a difficult time getting an education in Afghanistan and it’s equally as tough to play sports where many men/boys think girls shouldn’t participate at all. Here is a video that tells the tale of one of the students. This girl is inspiration and her outlook and drive to help herself for the sole purpose of helping those around her is really enlightening. While I wish a better condition and circumstance for her and her family I must admit I’m a little envious of her strength and determination. It’s amazing how much I take for granted every single day!

(It’s 9 minutes but worth it)
The school has spread and is now open in Africa and Cambodia helping to grow female literacy and education and of course...teaching them skateboarding.
Equally inspiring (a little shorter)
