About the Event: 
Two students from Arlington, Virginia are working together to raise funds so they can help build a playground in a small town by the name of Nioro, Senegal. The playground will be built in front of the Adja Penda Ba School for all the kids in this community to enjoy. 

A Little About OPEN's Cause:
The children in the community of Nioro, Senegal do not have time to play. The girls are too busy with household chores after a long day at school where recess consists of sitting under a tree chatting waiting for the bell to ring to get back to class. There is a barren space in front of the Adja Penda Ba School that can be used for the playground. All we really need is your help with one contribution to build a few play supplies.
