Answer: Hello Mussa, First of all, compliments on your pursuit of such a good cause! We would be happy to try and help you. A few questions for you. Do you have any others in the area who are also interested in building a playground for the town's children? These people might be helpful in brainstorming a course of action with you. And are you familiar with the building process in your area? It might also be helpful to identify someone in Wakkerstroom who is familiar with the local government policies who can aid you in determining requirements you will need to meet to build the playground. Approaching this person and identifying others who can help you early in the process will be helpful. Please take a look at these chapters from the community tool box. They may be beneficial as you plan your process: /en/table-of-contents/participation/encouraging-involvement and /en/table-of-contents/assessment/getting-issues-on-the-public-agenda. We hope you find this answer helpful. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
