Service: Painting Playground Equipment at a School (Service)

Hours Spent: 1 hour

Learning Outcome: Collaboration

I worked together with other juniors and seniors to paint playground equipment at a rural school. We dusted away the cobwebs first, and then painted a special type of paint on the wood. While I knew I was going to be painting playground equipment at a school, I didn't think I'd be painting with this special type of paint. At first I didn't think this jungle-gym type playground equipment (see photo) really needed that much paint, but it looked nicer after we painted it. I'm not sure whether that was just because the paint had not dried yet though. We painted mostly on one day, which was very cold. Some paint got on my hand and it was sticky, but the overall experience was not so bad. I am the girl in the light blue hoodie in both photos.
