Narrative,
958 words

Synopsis:
War-torn Afghanistan might seem like a strange place to set up a skateboarding school. But that is exactly what a 34-year-old Australian has done. Skateistan, Afghanistan's only skate school, has grown in appeal since its humble inception two years ago, becoming one of the only places where girls, many from incredibly poor families, can perform sport in public. It's founders say that, despite Afghanistan's deeply traditional culture, skateboarding has proved the perfect way to reach out to marginalised children in the war-torn country.
