Roger Kovacs reports that some of the items the U.S. project team wants to get for the new playground at the Dushanbe Zoo is on order! The company we are purchasing from, AAA State of Play, will ship the items to Denver to be consolidated on a shipment to Dushanbe, which will help us come in under our current budget of $7500 US.
The new playground equipment will include slides, swings, a see-saw, and balance beams. The team in Tajikistan reports they can get pea gravel there to make a safe base for kids to play. Plus there will be a "handicap-style" swing seat to accommodate children with special needs.
This is a great start to efforts to improve the experience for visitors to the Dushanbe Zoo. Congratulations team!
