Playing builds our muscles
Playing outside gives us lots of skills - but many kids don't access playgrounds
We know that little children need to play to build their bodies, as well as their brains. All that leaping, jumping, hanging and climbing builds gross motor skills and also new important neural pathways in the brain. We don't only build classrooms, we also construct play areas in the informal settlements. Help us to get young preschool-age kiddies outside and playing. Could you or your organisation sponsor/donate a jungle gym, swing or outside play equipment? Bonus: If you need to organise a team build, this is a great cause to support! Lots of fun for everyone!
