Shade and fun for Kayadibi Children

[Pi55y]

Youngsters in the small village school at Kayadibi can now enjoy their lessons in a shady outside shelter and their playtime on their newly refurbished playground equipment following completion of the latest 3C's project.

The headmaster of the small school located in a village close to the entrance of Saklikent gorge, applied to the 3C’s earlier this year for help in refurbishing their dilapidated playground equipment which the 115 children at the school were barely able to use. The school also wished for a covered shelter in the playground where the younger children could take shade from the sun.

After visiting the school to assess the situation we asked our playground contractor to inspect the existing equipment to see what could be done and then agreed to refurbish the 6 swings and 2 slides and to also purchase two new see saws.  We also agreed to provide a new covered seating area.

Last week  some 3C's members revisited the school to find that the newly erected large covered area was not only being used as a shelter but for outside lessons, each teacher taking it in turn to use if for their class.  The children were also very happy to show off their newly refurbished playground as well as to introduce our members to the school dog and cockerel.

The children at Kayadibi also have a further treat in store as we have agreed to pay for the hire of three buses to transport them all down to Fethiye for the Children’s Day celebrations being held on the new square on Wednesday 23 April. Many of these children have never been to Fethiye or seen the sea so it should be a memorable day for them.

Thanks again to all our supporters who have helped us to complete this project.

And now for some pictures....

even the school dog is enjoying himself! (but the cockerel has gone on the missing list!)
