Amway One By One - Where Life Gets Better Part 7


Amway One By One - Where Life Gets Better Part 7. Teaming up with the Magic in Orlando. How many people can actually say that they helped build a playground in a day? Now, I can. And even gained new friends along the way. On April 8, Amway One by One and the Orlando Magic partnered with KaBOOM! to build a playground in the Orlando community, so kids in the neighborhood have a great space to play.At the beginning of the day, all the volunteers gathered around the stage to hear the project leader tell us about the build. She said that by the end of the day, we would have a beautiful, functional playground.

At first, I was apprehensive about getting it all done. But, it didn’t take long to realize that it wouldn’t be a problem. Volunteers rolled up their sleeves and immediately got to work. Between shoveling dirt, painting murals, assembling jungle gyms and laying down pavement, the playground came to fruition right before our eyes. By 2:00 in the afternoon, the playground was … well, a playground.This former patch of dirt will now host the energies and imaginations of many, many children. And I’m so happy to have been a part of it!
