Promoting Social Development through Skateboarding, in La Paz, Bolivia
Milton has lived in NYC since 2000, and has been involved in the NYC skateboard community. Coming from a Bolivian heritage, he has been compelled to help the Bolivian skate scene develop, through promoting skate events, building ramps, organizing, and creating relationships with city officials, to push for the investment in alternative sports. This resulted in the construction of the world's largest DIY skatepark in Bolivia, working with the German NGO "Make Life Skate Life" and Levis Jeans.
