Medicine Hat skateboarding youth to embark on humanitarian journey
MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Medicine Hat Skateboard Association (https://www.facebook.com/medhatskate) gives back to our community in many ways, including bottle drives dona
tions, and cleaning up litter downtown.
However, their commitment to community service extends beyond Canada’s borders, as they embark on a humanitarian journey in early January. They are going to Mexico, with 30 youth skateboarders in tow.
Over the years, the Medicine Hat Skateboard Association has made three trips to Mexico and one to Nigeria.
In Mexico, the skateboarders will help build houses with Homes of Hope (https://www.ywamhomesofhope.org/), a part of the organization Youth with a Mission. They will also spend time assisting at a girls home, that takes young girls out of sex trafficking.
To facilitate this journey, the Medicine Hat Skateboard Association needs to raise about $30,000. The initial fundraising effort is a bottle drive that starts tomorrow at Ecole St. John Paul II school, running from 11 am to 3 pm. On December 3, there will be a silent auction.
