Kaboom! (Building a Playground for Kids)

Hey guys, I helped out a good cause on Thursday May 13th, 2010 Kaboom! (http://kaboom.org/) They build playgrounds for Kids in communities. It's all volunteer work. We had about 200 people there to build a playground in 6 Hours. Everyone was split into teams and I was on the painting team. I painted picnic tables and table tops where we made games such as tic tak toe and dots and checkers. I also helped cover holes up where the cement was put so it would hold up the tables and such. I got really sunburnt but it was so worth it to see the looks on the kids faces when they got home from school and saw the playground there cause when they left for school all that was there was dirt. Of course they couldn't play on the playground right away cause the cement had to dry for at least 72 hours but they were doing their homework on the picnic tables. I'm so glad I got to help in this project, it was worth it to see the look on their faces! Now they can get outside and play!

Comment by Cristal Lynn on May 17, 2010 at 4:54pm: I work for the Home Depot, they are apart of this. Home Depot and Kaboom partner together and made this happen. All I did was sign up to volunteer to help out. (Just in case this is asked, We did not get paid it was a volunteer basis.) I get so busy with work sometimes, I don't have time to do things like this, but I took my day off and I helped out. :)
