(HBO) - With 4 automobile and 10 motorbike repair shops, the number of discarded old tires in Yen Lac commune, Yen Thuy district is big each month. Tires are gathered at the backyard or in front of the shop, which becomes not only a blot on the landscape but also the breeding ground of mosquito.
Youth union members in Yen Lac commune, Yen Thuy
district turn old tires into safe toys for local children.
"When old tires pile up, they are burnt, causing smoke and unpleasant smell,
affecting the environment. To address the problem, the Ho Chi Minh Communist
Youth Union (HCM CYU) chapter of Yen Lac commune called on shop owners to give
the tires for free or sell them to us at cheap prices, so that we can create
playgrounds for local children", said Bui Thanh The, Secretary of communal
chapter.
The union members nurtured the idea of creating playgrounds with recycled tires
long ago but only until early 2018 could them gathered necessary resources to
materialise it. Through surveys of children, the union chose to create the
first playground with scraps in Yen Lac commune’s kindergarten in Dom
hamlet.
After half of a month and with the support of the union and enthusiasm of its
members, the playground was inaugurated on March 26 in celebration of the
founding anniversary of the (HCM CYU). It is called "Childhood garden” by local
residents and teachers of the kindergarten. The 150 sq.m premise seems wider
thanks to scientific layout with colourful toys such as swing, see-saw, tunnel,
and many more. In order to create a child-friendly space, old tires are also
turned into funny tubs for flower plants. At the same time, each wall around
the premise is painted with images inspired from fairy tales and the yard
itself.
Nguyen Thi Oanh Lan, Head teacher of Yen Lac communal kindergarten, said the
playground in Dom hamlet makes children happier when going to classes. Many
parents event stopped by to see kids playing and praised the creativeness of
the youth union members. The playground also gives the children lessons on
saving and environmental protection while cultivating their rich
imagination.
The project costs less than 25 million VND, but what the playground brings to
children is not small.
