An Intro to WeSkateMongu101
The next is a submit on behalf of a extremely good pal (good buddies are solely good buddies till they meet. Then they change into nice buddies.), Johnny Kalenga of WeSkateMongu101. WeSkateMongu101 is an initiative primarily based in Mongu, which is the capital of Zambia in Africa.
With regards to who I selected to roll with, I’m very calculated and cautious. In reality, overly calculated (not in a nasty means) and cautious.
Nonetheless, there are just a few people the place you simply know.
Johnny’s positivity, vitality, love, dedication, and grit are what introduced Mongu its first skatepark. I can actually say I’m not prouder of anybody else in skateboarding proper now greater than I’m of Johnny.
As I’ve mentioned earlier than, I’ll at all times struggle for the underdogs; those that haven’t any enterprise to be the place there are in life as a result of circumstance.
In the long run, fame, riches, or success received’t matter. All of it comes all the way down to who you’re as a human, and in my thoughts, as a person.
Johnny is a kind of people that impacted true change in his group. I plan to do a lot of the identical!
I can’t clarify the sensation of starting to stay the dream and seeing another person do the identical. I don’t know when, however after I go to Africa, the primary place I’m going to Lukaba Hande Skatepark in Mongu.
By the best way, Lukaba Hande means “We can be alright.”
And you already know what? I believe that the skate group of Mongu, Zambia are gonna be simply tremendous!
Lastly, I gotta give further cred the place it belongs. Wonders Across the World performed a huge position on this and mustn’t go unnoticed.
I plan to jot down an article on them or do a Q&A with them in time. In the event that they’re , after all, however from who I communicated with and the kind of trigger they run – constructing skateparks in much less lucky international locations – it’s sufficient to suppose they’re good folks and can be prepared.
P.S. Johnny, free web site everytime you’re prepared. Preserve shredding on the board and at life!
And now, I go it over to Johnny:

After weeks of working day and evening lastly, this tremendous workforce of wonderful human beings introduced this mission to life.
We wish to give an enormous thanks to every particular person who has labored so onerous on this mission for the reason that starting.
It was all a dream.
All a dream of a 16-year-old boy they usually made it come to life and proved that goals come true.
Willpower and persistence made this occur, it didn’t occur in a single day, we’ve been ready for this since 2016 and we have been very sure and at all times believed that it will all come true someday.
From picket skateboards to 100s of skateboard donations the skate group is actually superb.
All of us have one thing that we consider a lot that it doesn’t matter what we’re instructed we don’t surrender on it and hold the hearth burning from the get-go.
If you would like it unhealthy sufficient, you can also make it occur. When skateboarding began in Mongu everybody took it for a joke and now it’s representing the nation to some extent, each large factor begins small.
Don’t let anybody let you know in any other case.
This house received’t simply be used for skateboarding however for different leisure actions that don’t have a house in Mongu, it’s an area devoted to everybody who doesn’t belong.
