About the Cause

Bethel

Posted by Bethel in Guatemala on 06/17/2025

THE GARDEN OF SMILES: Designed for children under 12 years old in our community, this project will help with their early development, creating loving memories through the remodeling and expansion of our current playground, which is in disrepair. This project is urgently needed as the playground is in disrepair, and we have had accidents due to its condition. Our desire is to protect the well-being of our beloved children and always see them smiling.

How the church will sustain the Cause

Maintain and care for the children's playground twice a year, invest in manpower through the support of the men's and youth groups of the partner church for such maintenance, and establish rules for proper use to prevent deterioration due to weight overload by children over 12 years of age. Create a supervision schedule to ensure proper use of the children's playground.
