I started the day today by clearing out holes that were drilled yesterday. The holes are footing for the main structure on the toddler playground. With the holes clear, we were able to assemble the elements of the jungle gym, complete with slides, climbing poles and tunnels. My job was to make sure the pieces of the structure were level as we secured them in place.
I’ve helped on several hands-on volunteer projects through the MDRT Foundation, and I keep coming back for the camaraderie, sense of accomplishment and reward of making a contribution that will withstand time and touch many lives. Our project partner, Kids Around the World, believes that playgrounds are about more than just play. They believe playgrounds help children build developmental and social skills as a building block to success. I believe we all need to give more to the children of the world. What better way than providing a playground that these local kids would not otherwise have.
