Today we met with Technoswiss (a Swiss-originated company that works with enviornmentally sustainable playgrounds here in Quito, Ecuador) to decide on what playground equipment to get for the village of Santa Ana. Even with the expertise and help of Margarita Columba, the deliberations took about three hours and several drafts considering what we could afford and what the people of Santa Ana would want most.
Finally, we decided on a very nice playground set that will provide the families of Santa Ana a place to call their own and enjoy for many years to come. We were very happy to be finished
Thanks to generous donations from many parties, including McDonald’s and the Badinger family of Louisville, Ky., my group was able to purchase this great playground set complete with slide, swings (both for babies and older children), cargo net, fireman’s pole, rings, and suspension bridge. I’m so amazed with all that we have been blessed with and the opportunity to help the people of Santa Ana. It’s a humbling experience to work alongside all the other college-aged kids in my group. I could not have done it without them and the donations from their families and schools.
A special thanks must also go out to the Alive Center at WKU. We could not have done this project without your grant and help.
