Playground for children of war-torn city


We completed our project of building a playground for the Vukovar area. This city was one of the most devastated during the war and even though in the process of rebuilding, it will undoubtedly never be the same again. Additionally, there is still a lot of hatred and animosity underneath the surface among the peoples, requiring needed inner change to truly begin the rebuilding and healing process. Only with God in the equation, can the future hold something other than continued division, pain and suffering.
