Community Playground
by Lisa-Jo Baker 400 Lives Impacted South Africa
What if between changing the diapers, the laundry and the dishes a community of mothers around the world could change the future for a community ...
Because what if moms from all over the world could build a playground for 250 orphans and vulnerable children in South Africa?
Kids never lack creativity.
There are epic games of soccer, jump rope and tag on this open lot - the future site of their community center.
But just imagine what they could do with a playground imagined just for them?
These kids who love soccer, climbing, chasing and playing as much as the kids next door.
How they would benefit from equipment designed to maximize this early childhood development phase - encouraging gross-motor development skills that play such an important foundation in later years.
And offering kids who would otherwise just spend their afternoons unsupervised on the streets a safe and attractive place to play.
And then invite your family, your kids, your friends to join the movement --
