So excited to get started on this project with Be Your Own Hero. Thank you for entrusting me with building a playground for these precious children πΈ
A big day for Clouds of Hope! βοΈπ«
Back in January, our children and youth joined a special workshop: What should your dream playground look like? What would make you happiest? ποΈπ
A big stack of colorful drawings left the grounds β filled with imagination and hope. Soon after, committed investors stepped in to help bring those dreams to life. ποΈ
We followed all the steps β a full project brief, three official quotes, and a proper cost plan. And now the moment has come: Doreen Aucamp from Greendoor has been awarded the project! π Her concept is sustainable, thoughtful, and truly heartwarming. Every childβs drawing is reflected in the final design, and with her love for the region, she included only elements that celebrate our local culture. ππ
Today we took the first big step β contract signing! β
And very soonβ¦ it all begins. The new playground will be magical β a central space between our cottages, created for all ages. And yesβ¦ we even have a special surprise in store for our amazing house mothers. βοΈ
After the school holidays, weβll unveil the final plans β and we can't wait to see if the children's eyes shine as brightly as ours do already. β¨
Thank you, Doreen, for your beautiful idea, your experience, and your deep support of our social mission. π
