Playground Equipment in K30

Last year, a local Nor Cal family bought their children a play set for their yard. In order to set a good example for their children, they decided to donate money to JCEP to provide a playset for the children of the colonia outside Jaurez. Often things happen at a very deliberate pace in Mexico. The playground set was no different, but once it was complete, the results were spectacular.

This week the set was dedicated at the kindergarten we built in 2007. The set is three structures. A jungle gym-slide shaped like a bat, a teeter-totter and a swing set. A local craftsmen made them out of pipe. He welded them together and set them in concrete at the site. Jeff Piner, the local Missions Ministries head of operations, said the set will probably be working long after we are gone.

In January we will have a duplicate set for the library we built in Kilometer 30 in January 2008. God bless the donors and their family.
