Participlay Mobile Playground

ByMiina Matsuoka 2021-08-132024-05-02

We illuminated the Participlay mobile playground in the Bourj Hammoud area of Beirut. This project was conceived and constructed by Nusaned, an NGO doing great work reconstructing Beirut, and Reality Studio.

Lebanon faces multiple ongoing crises and challenges, but we must not let child development suffer, because the future of the country depends on the kids. Projects like this give us hope!
