Volunteers, led by Mr Patterson, built a 60 foot wall 11 feet high, graded the slope, and used available tools to create a safe play area. The project united rich and poor families, boosted labor dignity, and transformed the yard into a 4200 square foot playground with trees, shrubs, and a plan for play equipment and a one acre school park.
