We discuss their 'Let's Play' Initiative, aiming to restore and design three playgrounds in three different schools destroyed by the August 4 port blasts.
Their crowdfunding campaign aims to raise $45,000 by the end of this year. The GoFundMe link is accessible below:

Our conversation includes citizen-driven initiatives and volunteer efforts that help create a positive environment for children returning to their schools post-lockdown.
Nada Borgi and Sandra Richani are architects and urban planners / designers.
