Volunteers begin to see that they are doing more than just building a new play space for children.
They are changing their perception of what a small number of committed, passionate people can do, in spite of their numbers. They are opening their eyes up to the hope and success that can fill an 8-hour block of time. They are meeting new friends, and learning new things about old friends. They are seeing a neighborhood for the first time, or seeing it in a brand-new light. Yes, the dirt is swept away, the soil is tilled and a new playground rises from the earth.
