After reviewing the playground proposals submitted by a handful of Peruvian companies we are pleased to announce that the Heart of Yapatera committee has selected a small local company to construct the equipment for Yapatera's first playground. The decision to keep business local, source materials in the region and give jobs to people in the community to create the playground follows from our emphasis on empowering people to be pro-active in terms of their health. We are finalising the designs together with owner Ricardo and construction is scheduled to begin in December. As well as traditional playground equipment we will need a fence to keep out small animals such as goats and sheep and plants and trees to provide much needed shade in this very hot climate. If you have not yet donated but still wish to do so please make checks payable to Special Ties Foundation and post to Cheri Tatem, 16064 North St. Vrain Dr., Lyons, CO. 80540. Thanks for your continued support!
