<p>"Atita Verghese from Girls Skate India also talked about the commonalities each panellist shared and the value of also hearing about their more unique experiences. She states, “When Aram Sabbah (Skate Pal, Palestine) talked about how ‘aid’ can also be in the form of just going to visit the place and hanging out and skating with the locals. You don’t have to be anyone, have an organisation or fund things if it’s not within your reach. Just visiting goes a long way. I strongly feel this in my own context as well”. Of Ayanda Mnyandu (Skateistan, South Africa) she appreciated how he “spoke about international aid programs leaving knowledge and resources behind and allowing the local communities to develop their own scene because no one understands how to go about things better than the local communities”. She also highlighted when Leyla spoke “about the mental health effects on marginalised youth. I can strongly confirm that it does wonders for these kids. In my own experience I’ve seen young boys who are marginalised and were into bad company and stealing etc change remarkably with skateboarding and a positive community force behind them”."</p>
