Re: “Helping out the garbage dump kids,” News, Oct. 10
Man. This is crazy. Over the last little while I have realized how privileged I am to live in a city like Richmond. I have food whenever I want, personal entertainment, and a prized education.
One thing I never realized we have that other countries don’t was playgrounds. I mean, they have just always been there. I am very astonished that this was referred to as an “amusement park”.
I am a student at McMath, and I have to give this woman props for what she did for those Jamaican kids.
Personally, I have never really been that fond of playgrounds, but that’s just because they’re not really that special, but I can just imagine how much happier those kids will be now.
I love trips to what I consider amusement parks, so if a playground is like a trip to Disneyland, then getting Disneyland in your backyard must make those kids ecstatic.
I am grateful to have people like (Ayako) Turnbull helping out the needy, and I can just hope more people, like me, get inspired by this woman’s actions.
