Skate ubuntu
"Through the construction of a public skate park, our aim is to facilitate the expansion of the Grahamstown skateboarding community with the goal of exposing and promoting skateboarding, and its positive effects, to the Grahamstown community. We feel that an effective way of overcoming the social division, that has resulted from South Africa's traumatic past, is by building friendships across the socio-economic divides, and skateboarding is an ideal tool to build lasting friendships and relationships with people in our community, skater and non-skater alike"
