We move forward with love: we begin preparing the land
Thanks to the support we've received, we've been able to take the first steps toward making this fun and safe recreational space a reality for our children. Currently, our team and community members have been working on preparing and leveling the land where the playground will be installed. Seeing the children's excitement at the prospect of soon having a safe place to play fills us with hope and motivation. One of the main challenges we've faced is the high cost of the playground equipment and the waiting time for its manufacture and delivery, as it must be ordered in advance. There's also the possibility that the approved funds won't cover everything we initially envisioned building. However, as a church and community, we continue to seek additional support and explore ways to raise more funds to complete the project. Even so, we are incredibly grateful because this support already represents a significant step forward: we will soon have swings and other play equipment that will bring joy, recreation, and a safer space for our children. This cause is already strengthening our community, uniting our efforts, and sowing hope in our children and families.
