73. Francisco Vinho
Francisco Vinho is a skate activist whose love for skating, combined with a steady grind, drove him to break down barriers and defy the status quo. It takes a particular type of mindset and willingness to, against all odds, build a skate park in one's backyard and make it an extension of the conventional classroom for many girls and boys of the community. Still, it is precisely what Vinho did. Find out how it came to be and where this fantastic project is going directly from the horse's mouth.

Yuri is a social entrepreneur. His projects transcend popularity, and the drive for social change results in long-lasting benefits for the city and people's lives. We spoke about his relationship with the city council, his inspiration drawn from living abroad, the love for the city that watched him grow and how we all share the responsibility to make it better. All of this and more sprinkled with a bit of fun and a caipirinha on the side.
