Why Do They Need Your Help?
Over the past few years, the expense of replacing outdated playground equipment with modern and secure alternatives has increased dramatically. To ensure that the playground meets the present requirements of the school and serves as a valuable asset to the neighboring communities, we require external assistance to finance the project, in addition to the funds received from the school budget and insurance premiums. With your help, we can create a safe and engaging space for children to learn and play, fostering a positive impact on their development and well-being.
