Garcia Past Experience Donating to Uganda

We can see one of the coordinators of the Kampala Skateboard Project in Uganda announcing and expressing gratitude for Garcia's initiative to visit and continue supporting the project. This effort includes not only donating skateboarding materials but also constructing a mini ramp, providing skateboarding lessons to the community's children, and skating with them.

Here we see the joy and friendliness of the children in Uganda as they skateboard and express their gratitude to Garcia for his efforts in bringing improvements to their lives. The video highlights the poor conditions of the places where they skate, underscoring the importance of upgrading these spots and providing quality equipment so that the children can enjoy skateboarding safely.

EXTRA: The Future dream

Uganda has very little skatable area, the only skateparks are the following ones:

• Skatepark 1 -> St Charles skatepark nsanji

• Skatepark 2 -> Kitintale skatepark

• Skatepark 3 -> Kalangalo skatepark

Some places don't even have asphalt or concrete to skate. Garcia and Pharra joined efforts on a dreamy project bellow and Garcia visit will be a crucial first step for this potencial reality.

This proposal also sends one Airdroped Gnar to Garcia and renames him to GNARCIA.
