By Tammye McDuff

The Costa Rican community of Matapalo, located inland of Playa Grande along the Pacific Coast in Cost Rica, has never had a public playground. But now, due to the many generous contributions of Lakewood residents and businesses, over $10,000 was raised to refurbish the outdated playground equip- ment from Lakewood’s Bolivar Park and transport it to the impoverished neighbor- hood. The equipment will be installed later this month. “A big thank-you goes out to all the Lakewood residents and businesses who contributed,” said Valarie Frost, the coordinator for the effort from the Rotary Club of Lakewood, “We received hundreds of donations, big and small, including mon- ies from fundraising events held in restaurants, schools and private homes. It was a wonderful Lakewood community team effort, and 100% of funds raised will do straight to the project.” The used play equipment was removed from Bolivar Park to make way for two new playgrounds that opened at the park in October 2016. Currently there is no market in the United States for used playground equipment, many of the oversized Bolivar equipment would have simply been disposed of in a landfill. “There had to be a way to repurpose the Bolivar equipment since it was still very usable,” said Frost. “So the Rotary Club of Lakewood decided to partner with the non-profit group Kids Around The World, which specializes in refurbishing and transporting used American play equipment to orphanages and impoverished communities.” “We’ve seen how playgrounds help build creative minds, healthy bodies and smiling faces,” said Frost, “so we wanted to see if we could help spread that joy with this older but still usable Lakewood equipment.” Frost and three other Lakewood community members will pay their own way to travel to Costa Rica in late June to help install the playground. They will leave behind a sign saying that the playground was ‘Proudly donated by the community of Lakewood, California, U.S.A.’

Brazilian, Jewish, Haitian, Middle Eastern and Puerto Rican – these are just some of the cultures that make up the diverse patient population at BWH. On May 1, BWH’s 12 dietetic interns learned how a culture’s unique style of cuisine and dietary guidelines or laws can influence a patient’s nutri- tion needs and preferences. As part of the second annual dietetic internship “Cultural Diversity through Food” class day, interns had the opportunity to hear from BWH chefs and try foods from their cul- tures.
