To everyone who donated,
I just wanted to write this post to thank all of you for your donations to this amazing cause. Building a playground with East African Playgrounds has definitely been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
The school I was based at was called Kyabirwa Pre-school and was run by a charity called Soft Power Education, which runs schools and health clinics in the area. We also built a very small playground in another of their pre-schools, just a short drive from us (not that much fun on Ugandan roads!). There were 90 kids in the pre-school and an SEN block, which made the project even more special because some of the items in the playground were especially designed for SEN kids.
Here are some pictures of the school and competed playgrounds:

As you can see, the playground turned out great! And it would not have been possible without your help, so thank you from all the children of Kyabirwa!
I will be going to Uganda again next summer as a leader, so if you'd like to donate to my next adventure or volunteer for East African Playgrounds, please get in touch :) I'll make more posts talking about my amazing time in Uganda and will update you on my upcoming project as well.
