Construction team member and child share a moment of delight on the pogo pole. You see, the building of the playground is reason enough – providing a place where children can be children in a community that cannot provide them with things children here take for granted and often ignore.

But ultimately, it’s not about a playground. It’s about relationships. Relationships with Americans – Christian Americans. It’s about letting a labor of love speak of Christ’s love in a country where we cannot preach and teach Christ. It’s about Christians from America leaving a symbol of friendship and love in a community whose memory is scarred by an awful past. It’s about some of them eventually finding a relationship with Jesus.
