THE STARS OF PROJECT PLAYGROUND

Since Play on Wheels is not yet up and running I have had the pleasure to spend some time with the children at Project Playground. They are true shining stars! Their smiles and energy can lit up a whole world. As soon as they enter the center it is filled with their joy and positive energy. No one remains unaffected. The moment you step inside the center a wonderful feeling of warmth, happiness and affection is taking over each and every cell of your body and all you want to do is to return that feeling to the children.

Question: What is the reason behind the lovely laughters and their happiness?
Answer: Project playground

 Project Playground offers them the opportunity to engage in various activities, e.g. dance, soccer, debate and play. It gives them a chance to be nothing but kids and to forget about the outside world for a few hours.

Occasionally some kids are crying because of their extra need for attention but only once have I seen genuine tears falling down the cheeks of a child. Why? She could no longer come to the center and join the dance class because of additional school work. She cried because it was her last day at the center. This single incident made me truly understand the importance of Project Playground for these kids. Project Playground has created a second home to them – and if the kids where to decide, many of them would probably have liked it to be their primary home.
