Monday Montage: Uganda Skateboard Union Reprise
We recently told you about my assistant, Jessica’s fantastic voyage to the Mighty UG. While there, she connected with an organization that for some might seem surprising to find in central Africa - the Uganda Skateboard Union. The power of play (and the skateboard) knows no bounds!
I was not surprised, then, when I received the following email from my friend, Christian Scott with Sole Technology:
Kevin - hope you’re doing well. We finally got the shoes through
Ugandan customs and the kids got their surprise. Check out the photos.
I just hooked up with a girl in New York who does a similar program for
kids in Jamaica so it looks like that might be our next target.
Let’s talk soon

Seems that Sole Technology made a rather large donation to guess who?! The Uganda Skateboard Union!
The world gets smaller day by day.
