Today marked the third and final day of a great collaborative project to bring playground structure, swing set and volley ball court to a local school in the village of El Asentamiento spearheaded and organized by Better Together Ministries, KidsAroundTheWorld.com and their families. This is a shot of all the volunteers at the dedication ceremony this morning.

The group overcame logistical challenges of transport, customs, permitting, and precious short time to fulfill the goal of delivering and completing build and assembly in record time. Huge help from local mechanic Tyrone across the street whose good vibes, knowledge, shop and tools were indispensable, families in the community, Mayor of Tola José Ángel Mairena, Fernando and Brittany Pacheco, Kimi Tasker and Zac Hyland, and Hayden Bell and more from the expat community. Here are the students patiently making it through the dedication ceremony before getting to enjoy the new facilities.

And finally given the green light to go play mayhem ensued as the kids got to enjoy the new addition to their school. Huge props to Dan and Stephanie, Scott and Lynette and all the volunteers for doing something truly special this week.
