Our preschool playground space needs sprucing up. We have an outside courtyard area that our refugee preschoolers enjoy playing on each week while their mothers are practicing their English. The space is thankfully provided for by Highland Heights Baptist Church. We are looking for help in making the play area a little nicer and safer for the children. Can you or your small group help?

We will meet this Saturday at 9:30am at Highland Heights Baptist Church (where we share building space) at 675 National, Memphis, TN. Our location is one block west of the intersection of Summer and Highland. We already have a few youth and adult members from The Church at Schilling Farms willing to help and hopefully a few college students from Operation Broken Silence. We will block off old bricks children like to climb, paint the swing sets, weed eat the grass area, pressure wash some areas, possibly add an outside toy box and use the creativity of those helping to just spruce up the area. Asha’s Refuge is short on funds therefore we appreciate any tools and supplies you can bring or donate. Perhaps one day we could even put in a new playground set boxing it in pea gravel.

If you can help this Saturday, please meet us at 9:30am this Saturday. Feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions you may have. And thank you in advance for your help.
