Feature: First skatepark adds new dimension to Syrian children's war-torn life

Young people skateboard during the opening of the first skatepark in Damascus, Syria, July 15, 2019. The skatepark was co-built by SOS Children's Villages in Syria, the German Skate Aid Foundation and Wonders Around the World, an international and independent non-profit organization. The park, which was officially opened on Monday, was completed in 26 days in an abandoned space close to a residential area that witnessed some acts of rebellion in the early years of the eight-year war in Syria.
