A Playground for kids in the Old Minburee Market

The first project that I am participating in with CASE is a playground for the kids who live in the Old Minburee Market. CASE has been involved with the Old Market communities for sometime as it is only a short walk from their office. Chumchonthai Foundation funded CASE to look at the feasibility of doing a project with the community, after spending time with the locals the concept of a playground was raised and a suitable site chosen. A multinational finance corporation with offices in Bangkok also approached CASE seeking a suitable project for its office workers to participate in as part of a volunteer community engagement programme. The corporation will fund the costs of all community design workshops and the construction of the playground itself.

Below is an outline of the project as presented by CASE to the corporation.
