Play360 PlayMakers are Changemakers
Creating a better educational experience for children is the heart and soul of our play360 PlayMakers. But doing the hard work to make it happen takes a certain kind of community driven, inspired person who believes in the power of play and the strength of community in bringing a project to fruition. We find these spectacular change makers in the form of teachers, parents, neighbors, organizations and students.
In the rural communities of Belize, schools are single-room structures and children attend classes only a few hours a day. A local elementary teacher reached out to play360 with the idea that a playground would help the children enjoy school more and might increase attendance rates. She gathered the community. In just a few short days, a project took root in the hearts and minds of the community.
