As you guys noticed, Iāve been posting content that has nothing to do with food in recent times- because there is some BIG & IMPORTANT stuff happening on this island!
The DIY skate gully is progressing bit by bit. And pls take the DIY part literally- because itās really a group of friends, 1 mason & money pitched in thatās driving this project. Recently weāve received few contributions too and we also got some exciting news today- but youāll find out later š The project was also featured on TVJ Smile Jamaica yesterday morning! .
However to build the ācomplexā type obstacles, a little more funding will be needed. Thereās a crowdfund thatās now set up - with a modest goal- that can help take this project to the next level. The link is in my profile.
While Iām a huge supporter of street & urban culture, this is really about the IDEA of transforming spaces. Of transforming a non functional abandoned gully that could had become a sewage treatment plant (with the sewage water feeding straight into the sea?!!?!) to now a DIY skate park- that will also happen to be the first skate park in JA. Itās about supporting these young people who blow me away with their determination to not wait- and just get things done. Itās about trying to create a culture- even if skate boarding is not a ābig thingā in this country. Most of all- itās about doing things for the right reasons š , Gio, and those showing up to get the work done .beckford.art you guys are just awesome. .
If youād like to help us make this happen- please see link in profile. Also be sure to check out updates on stories. Thank you!! šøvia
