\nTogether with the organizations Lila Juegos Reciclados, Laughter Africa and Don Bosco, the event was planned at the Marbela soccer field in Susan’s Bay. From morning until early afternoon, about 600 children from the slum area were given the opportunity to ride on a carousel for the first time in their lives.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”105709″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”793362″ media_width_pixel=”600″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”128926″]<\/p>\n

The carousel was built by teenagers, partly from recycled materials<\/h5>\n

The<\/strong> organizations Lila and Don Bosco offer a three-year training program for welders in Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone<\/strong>. As part of this training, this carousel made of recycled material was created, among other things. It was built by youths, some of whom lived in Pikin Paddy years ago. Other playground equipment that the children were able to use that day was also made during the welder training.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”105712″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”309270″ media_width_pixel=”600″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”162411″]<\/p>\n

Fun for children and also adults alike<\/h5>\n

Not only were the children of the Susan’s Bay community excited, but so were the adults. Questions were repeatedly asked about how to make such attractions and whether they can be rented for events. The fact that almost everything is made from recycled material has fascinated people very much. The children were beside themselves and completely thrilled.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”105713″ media_width_use_pixel=”yes” alignment=”center” uncode_shortcode_id=”976102″ media_width_pixel=”600″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”340832″]<\/p>\n

Cooperation partner Music Heals with musical performance on board<\/h5>\n

Our cooperation partner Music Heals, who offer weekly music lessons at the street children’s shelter, were also involved in the program. Together with some girls and boys from our project they contributed a musical performance. There was also a dance contest, food and drink for the kids, and lots of big shining eyes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
