All good playground projects must come to an end. After three days, 40 hours of group labor and weeks of pre-expedition planning, the students at the Fabretto Children’s Foundation school in Cusmapa, Nicaragua, have a first-class playground.
The playground’s dedication, followed by children swarming in their Sunday clothes:
An an earlier, one-minute video tour of the just-completed playground from a few weeks earlier:
Under the guidance of a talented and unbelievably hard-working crew from the PBS affiliate in Boston, the Roadmonkey team worked with students, teachers and parents to create the playground, almost entirely from locally purchased materials. PBS joined our volunteer project, designed the playground and filmed its construction for a newly created program to show kids the beauty of using engineering for worthy community projects.
Mil gracias a Judy Lee & Adam Vollmer & Dorothy Dickie and their efficient and spirited Boston-based team. You guys were a pleasure to work with. Jason and Marsela and Nora of Fabretto: your hospitality and patience were beyond the call. Thank you.
We. Are. Very. Tired.
Goodnight from Nicaragua…
Paul
