'Go Skateboarding Day' In Kabul

The streets of Kabul, normally crowded with military convoys and UN vehicles, have been taken over by girls and boys on skateboards. The occasion was the fourth-annual “Go Skateboarding Day,” organized by Skateistan, an international nonprofit devoted to empowering young people through sports. After the outdoor show of skill, the skateboarders, many in traditional dress, took part in the largest competition of the year. (Video by Sabawoon of RFE/RL’s Radio Free Afghanistan)
