<p style="text-align: center;">PK United works with children across the globe who are deemed 'high risk' and dealing with many obstacles in their young lives. This program will launch in Northern Uganda, an area where the children and youth have been deeply impacted by conflict with rebels in the region and the target of a <a target="_blank" href="http://youtu.be/gIpnkQUdyf8">massacre in 1995</a></p>

Hey whats up every one so I was just talking with Ryan about the upcoming demonstration at fisherman's warf that we will be doing next month.

Any ways we are looking for ideas of what we could get or what people would like to see at the demonstrations as far as obstacles go. We really want to add some new stuff and get more creative with what we can do at demonstrations so post away.…

<p>The increasing popularity of freerunning demonstrates one such activity, which many young people are enjoying.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Young people in Scotland are being offered the chance to have a go at 'freerunning' free of charge, as part of a series of events taking place across the country.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At each of these events, 30 young Scots aged 16 to 25 will get the chance to try out freerunning (also known as parkour), <strong><em>a non-competitive sport that combines physical strength and endurance with critical thinking with the purpose of moving through any environment regardless of obstacles</em></strong>.</p>
