Redy to start the project
Tony B from Haiti reports that the initial plan for the playground was to lay a concrete slab as a play area in the whole front school yard so it could be used for multiple activities: football, basketball and volleyball.
However on request of the school committee the plans have now been changed to a two part design. This will include the original slab and a natural playground area with playground equipment for the younger children. The work is in full swing and the kids can’t wait.
The happy kids who will have a playground
It is Soderberg & Partners who sponsored this project. It is not the first time that Soderberg & partners participates in SOH reconstruction projects. Dano community and Star of Hope are very thankful to Soderberg & partners for their commitment in the benefit of many hundreds of children that attend Dano school.
This project creates jobs, among the 30 jobs created 9 people come from outside of Dano and 21 from Dano. The work will last 3 months and will be ongoing during school, however all measures will be taken to keep children safe during the construction period.
