We are making progress to build the playground for Sivaraja Deaf and Blind School. It is scheduled to be built the first and second weeks of March 2023. This will be our first playground of the year and our first playground in Sri Lanka. Volunteers on the ground have begun to purchase the necessary materials, and they are also raising the ground 8 inches to avoid flooding during rain.
On March 1st, our CEO will fly to Sri Lanka to complete the project. Additionally, there will be a professional film production starting on March 8th to capture the project and importance of play. They will then create a short video.
As a separate project, we are working with students at Emily Carr University to develop learning toys for the students with disabilities at the school. We partnered with students at Emily Carr University as well to design this playground.
