How Skate Brothers Strengthens Honduran Communities

FRON THE ARTICLE:
"In Cofradia, a town outside of San Pedro Sula in Honduras,
the rhythmic clunk of skateboard wheels has become commonplace.
The clatter of wheels and wood on pavement may be intrusive
and noisy to some, but for Jessel Recinos, it is not only
welcome and familiar, but a sign of his hometown becoming
safer. A former gang member, Recinos was only 16 years old
when he survived being shot in the back. The violent
experience did not spark revenge but instead gave him
the drive to eliminate the presence of gangs across Honduras.
To accomplish this goal, he returned to his passion for
rollerblading, which occupied much of his time before
he became a gang member. In 2011, he founded
Skate Brothers, a group for at-risk youth so that
they could skateboard, rollerblade or bike ride while
enjoying a sense of community. "
