After a month of waiting, the most expected day came with the eagerness. On the morning of September 3rd 2019, the 3rd session of the building playground project for disabled kids of Binh Minh Primary school taken place with the participation of 17 children, 13 volunteers from Microtec Vietnam, Onepay and 4 volunteers from the Think Playground.
In the morning of a sunny autumn day, at 8:30, the whole group got on the bus to move to Binh Minh School – Dong Anh District, Hanoi. The trip went smoothly, people arrived to school after 40 minutes of moving. As soon as they arrived to school, all people were quickly divided into 3 groups: the painting team, the toy painting team and the tree planting team. Under the guidance from members of Think Playground, the children, along with the volunteers, enthusiastically participated in the activities of painting the walls, painting toys made from wood and painting milk cartons to plant trees. All members, from children to adults, worked very hard, diligently and concentrated to complete the assigned works. Within 3 hours, all toys were painted, the walls were painted colorful, and the windows were decorated with green trees in cute recycling boxes.

On behalf of the project, Sen Charity and Think Playground gave the certificates to all kids; thank all of them for the enthusiastic participation from the concept design stage to the final product stage.
After this activity, the children and all staffs have built up a spirit of solidarity, the ability to work in groups and the spirit of helping those in need as well as learning how to protect the environment and improve the creativity and reuse the recycling material.
Besides, we hope that this playground is a practical gift for students at Binh Minh School before entering the new school year. We wish all students of Binh Minh School always study well and their health will improve day by day.
