Playground Project for the Jardin de Niños Cuauhtemoc


Thanks to the generosity of so many friends and neighbors the RECYCLERS of BUCERIAS and The Amigos de Bucerias have reached our donation goal of $20,000.00 pesos for playground equipment for the children of Jardin de Niños Cuauhtemoc. This completes the first phase of our Jardin de Niños Project.
The second phase of the playground project is to acquire the materials to build the playground equipment. After some research we believe that building from scratch and using recycled materials rather than purchasing an already manufactured product would give us more “bang for our buck” or in this case more “punch for our pesos”. To facilitate the second phase we have chosen Paul Dobos as our project manager. Paul has already spent hours on the design work and has come up with some very nice ideas for the Jardin de Niños Project.
Paul and his wife Cheryl are full-time Bucerias residents, members of the Amigos de Bucerias and long time volunteers for the RECYCLERS of BUCERIAS. Paul’s dedication to our community and his previous experience in construction and management make him a great choice for this project. Thank you for stepping up Paul.
As the Jardin de Niños Project progresses we will be submitting up dates to: www.amigosdebucerias.com so you all can see how things are going. We also will be looking for some motivated handy persons to sign on for Paul’s crew to help us build this project and accomplish our goal. You can contact Barry at: 322.158.6101 if you would like to sign up for the Jardin de Niños Project.
Last but by no means least our donors:
Pat & Dusty Strong, Robert Bruce, Robert Orthlieb, Anne & Bob Milling, Rene & Annie Turgeon, Walter Rhead, Bruce Cox, Karen Moore, Janet Coleman, Tim & Susan Schultz, Lisa & Wayne Elliott, Curt Firestone & Gwen McDonald, William Snow, Sheila & Joe Coster, Cheryl & Paul Dobos, Joe & Joy Dobos, Jane & Jim Tederman, Karen & Jerry Knapp, Jeanne Thomsen & Barry Munro, Karen & David King, Mike & Kasey Phillips, Pat & Norm LeBlanc, Rodney & Janis Zimmers, Kelly Lynch, Morris Fichtein & Livier Villalobos, Marcia & Noble Dunson, Bill & Mary Gillespie, Anne & GE Kruckenberg, Bob & Melissa Tucker, Leslie & Gerry Broadrib, Carsten, Nicole & Yi Thomsen, Jim & Marilyn Moxin, Jean Lindsay & Robert Snell, Steve & Leanne Sunderland, Horst & Magdalena, RECYCLERS of BUCERIAS and two anonymous donors.
