Growing up, you may have taken for granted those areas where you played as a child. Playgrounds and athletic fields blend into the surroundings of our everyday life.

But in Swaziland, a playground rises from the desolation like a beacon of hope. It is one of the signs that the community is changing by valuing children, and providing them with places to play.

It’s not uncommon to see a newly finished playground swarmed by so many kids that it looks as though it might not hold their combined weight.

But it does.

And that support is a metaphor for what HopeChest is doing to Change The Story for children at Bheveni, and around the world.

Thank you Danielle Brower and company for all that you are doing to make sure the kids of Bheveni grow up strong and healthy.

To support the Bheveni CarePoint, visit Danielle’s fundraising page and make a gift to support them today!
