 Introduction

PlaygroundTristina Brown, a student at Minnesota State University, Mankato (MSU), worked to build a playground at an elementary school in Zwelihle, the black residential area in South Africa. Because of former racial segregations in South Africa, some elementary schools in these areas do not have playgrounds for children. While studying at MSU, Tristina sold books around her neighborhood in order to raise funds for the playground project. She collected more than $1500, and the playground was completed in 2003.
