SKATEISTAN

Correspondent Graeme Smith from The Globe and Mail, Canada’s largest circulation national newspaper came and saw a different side to Afghanistan than he usually covers. Mr Smith recently won an online journalism award for the series Talking to the Taliban.  The story of what he saw in Macrorayan, Kabul ran on page 3 of last Saturdays edition and can be found here. The article prompted many Canadians to contact Skateistan and ask how they can support. Our paypal button will be up on the site in the near future for online donations and we will soon be able to receive tax-free donations through an organisation called the Creative Visions Foundation.  We will post news about this as soon as the Creative Visions Foundation are able to collect donations on our behalf.
