Every day our kids go for a walk. Unfortunately our Centre is located dangerously close to the road so we need to be especially attentive. If we wish to take them to a city playground it takes us sometime and most of the kids get tired just before reaching the ground, and yet still they have to walk back. And one warm summer day, the leader of the “Kangaroo” program Tatyana, who day and night was thinking how to find a place for kids to play suddenly saw a small derelict land near our Centre. From that day on we started our new project!
First, we agreed with the neighbors about the possibility of using this land. Then we corresponded with local authorities to get permission to install a fence. At the same time we began to clean the area - scavenged, pulled weeds, carried out stones.
In the autumn of 2015 the local authorities gave us permission to put the fence! We have asked the company "Poletechnika" (TOV Bizon-Import) to install a fence around the playground. A Zaporizhzhya factory of ventilation systems gave us a beautiful gate! Now our children were safe.
But we still lacked the main thing – the equipped playground. At this stage the united efforts of several organizations were made: it was a public organization “Zaporizhzhya Vector” and the Rotary Club of Swift Current, Canada. They have bought a wonderful game complex. It is a lovely swing, slide and sandbox! A charity fund "Mennonite Center" and state structure “Osnovanye” supported us with clean sand!
Our kids enthusiastically run to the playground. Games on fresh air brings to the children a lot of joy!
Thanks a lot for the joint efforts of all the organizations who were able to build a little game world for our kids. Thanks to everyone who helped us in this!
Now we dream of purchasing and installing injury prevention coating that will make our play convenient and comfortable at any time of the year.
