youth culture

if you don't already, you should know about skateistan, afghanistan's first skate school!



brave young ladies in hijab rockin it on skateboards, yeah!



speaking of rockin, skateistan is planning a fall concert in kabul for which they have invited guns n' roses to headline, can you imagine?



a new york benefit is in the works, too. know any artists who might be willing to put one of their drawings on a skateboard for auctioning? how about galleries/artspaces willing to host?

and i can't believe i've neglected thus far to direct you to our wonderful school newspaper, written + edited by students, the auaf free press. the top story this week: the staggering cost of afghan weddings. check it, if you please!
