How did the idea to build a playground in Yapatera come about?
We organised a drawing competition for primary school students to come up with a logo for our neighborhood committee and project "Heart of Yapatera". Reviewing the 245 entries we noticed that a large number of children had drawn playgrounds- hardly unusual in many places in the world but there is no playground in Yapatera, the next town or the next city 2 hours away! We think a playground is crucial to the quality of life of children, families and the community and sets the foundations for an active, healthy life.
We need your help to make Yapatera's first playground a reality! We are now in the final stages of designing the playground and are ready to begin building soon, thanks to our many supporters. But we haven't yet reached our goal.
