So today was the most magical day so far. Got the bus up to the school bright and early to meet the children and present all of our ideas to the principle. There was a little trepidation from the lot of us as we weren't sure if the land we had proposed to build on was available to us. Turns out the principle was overjoyed with our plans as she had expected something far smaller than what we have designed. I haven't admitted this to the rest of the group yet but I actually shed a tear when Oliver was explaining the outdoor stage, she was so gracefully overwhelmed it made all of the long nights, slogging sweaty bus journeys and itchy mosquito bites worth it.
APE Projects seek to fundraise, design and hand build Adventure Playgrounds for Education for various communities throughout the world. Where possible, we engage with the children to deliver a playground that provides a true sense of ownership. We seek to create beautiful spaces to enable physical, social, sensorial, creative and contemplative play, using locally sourced materials with minimal ecological impact.
