Minburee Old Market Playground: Week 6


After a week away I am amazed at the change that has occurred to the site. The rubble from the around the site has been redistributed over the lowest part. Ploy tells me that most of this has been done over the week by local people on their own initiative. Sand has been delivered to cover the rubble in preparation for the football field. This week we have the most volunteers to date and we have prepared posters showing them the work done so far and illustrating the tasks and numbers of people needed for the work today.


As the roads are too narrow for cars and trucks to enter, the sand is dumped at the entrance to the community and carted into the site. One team fills the barrows, one team carts the barrows to and fro, one team flattens the sand over the rubble at the site and another team continues cleaning the remainder on the site. The sand is quickly moved and the whole team continues to level the remainder of the site.





Pi Un and Ploy discuss getting some asphalt to cover the levelled ground, protecting it from erosion and making a safe playing surface.
