Several companies and organizations wanted to help in this wonderful activity. There were two very kind men who really wanted to help build the playgrounds- their names are Wayne Baptist and Ray Hauck. 

Wayne Baptist works for the City of Calgary parks department and R ay Hauck works for the Calgary Board of Education. 

Both Wayne and Ray have built over 1000 play grounds. Ray and Wayne went on one of the playground trips and they both loved it and asked if they could come the next year and bring their wives along with them. The next year another play ground was donated by Mr. Debney of CDC Recreation. 

Other organizations have helped the team prepare for their trips was  Bow Cycle, and The Bike shop and the City of Calgary police.

They have supplied and fixed bikes for the playground team to take and give to the people in the developing countries. In developing countries, bikes are something really special- their main form of transportation. Another company that has helped the Playground Team is the ATCO company through our air travel and accommodation (ATCO Travlel) and concrete for building the playground (Ashcore Concrete). Without the help from all of these people It would be very difficult and very expensive to do a project like this.
