The Rotary Club of Flemington asked itself the question, given that thousands of playgrounds are replaced and sent to landfill in Australia each year, why don’t we recycle them? And the Rotary Overseas Recycled Playgrounds project was born. This is a good news story of sharing PLAY around the world through generosity and ingenuity! Starting with a single playground to a girls school in Sri Lanka, this project has now collected over 40 playgrounds from across Victoria and sent them to Timor Leste, Philippines, Tanzania and Sri Lanka. Play Australia supports this project and many councils are involved. Contact Peter Cribb ptcribb@gmail.com to hear how you can join this wonderful project. |
