The Playground

To begin this one... I had to give an overall picture of what their "playground equipment looks like". Here's a picture of Alex putting his truck down the slide... it's such a classic picture.






You can tell that it was nice at one time... Yet, it has got older. Time has passed on. The slide is starting to come out on the bottom, as seen below.






Yet, it's worse near the top. As seen here:






Really, how safe can it possibly be with all of those nails sticking out? We are going back in September, and me and Michelle have thought about raising money to give them a new playground. They only have one working swing on each playground set, and they are so old. Another thing they really need is a ramada type covering over the tables in the courtyard. We'll see if we can do both of those things. These are things that they would appreciate more than anything and use constantly. It saddens me to see them use these things, and I think most parents would freak out if their kids even thought about going on playground equipment that looked like that. Yet, these kids use it, and it's all they have... and it saddens me that they probably don't even realize that.....
