This little lady, above, is one of my skate boarding sisters, Lilly ❤ ❤ ❤

You know already our connection with Palestine… well, Lilly is taking it a step further by connecting two of her passions – skateboarding and Palestine.

This week she just set up a crowd funding campaign to raise money for this insanely amazing charity called SkatePAL.

SkatePAL is a small charity whose main focus is improving the lives of children and young people in Gaza and the West Bank through skateboarding.

This year, SkatePALs goal is to go to a small village in Gaza to design and build a skatepark, as well as teach skateboarding / woodwork / building / design / art to the locals who are interested.

In a place that is stricken by war and poverty, projects like this are a lifeline for the disadvantaged youths who live there.
