Ethioskate
His name leads a genuine-real feel of his short video documentary. No heavy graphics, yet supplied with the best of the children's inspiring smiles, and his complementary voice and empowering reggae-ish music.
Not that everything will change in an instant as we view this, but assured is a heart that will bend towards our calling, where God purposed us to live the world to the fullest, and according to His will. May we use our talents into passion; our passion into compassion; and our compassion in the fulfillment of His plans for us. Clearly,
Romans 12:6-8 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully. James 1:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. Be in peace and pure happiness, friends! :)
Inspiration comes in many forms. For Israel Dejene, founder of Ethioskate, his inspiration sprouted from skateboarding. Now he's sharing his passion with the lost children and teenagers of Ethiopia, empowering them to explore their limits and seek what they love.
Israel Dejene, Founder, Ethioskate:
"By a village situated in the mountains of Addis Ababa, I saw kids sliding down the asphalt with plastic fixed to the underside of their shoes.
As a passionate skater, this inspired me to bring skating to this particularly tough neighbourhood as a way of empowering kids.
As a result “Love in Action” Ethio Skate project was born in my heart.
The community includes boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 19 in the Intoto area of Addis Ababa. Many of the kids are hawking in the city day by day and are slipping through the cracks in the system.
Ethioskate uses skateboarding as a tool for empowering youth, to create new opportunities and to be the potential for change.
We hope to grow a sustainable organization that is recognized locally and globally for changing the lives of youth through skateboarding. "
