KaBoom!
This organization gives kids a great place to play within walking distance. KaBoom builds playgrounds for children to play and have fun on. This also keeps kids active, and allows them to just be a kid! They also build basketball courts and try to promote healthy play time.
I really love this idea, because so many kids today spend a majority of their time inside. More kids are becoming overweight, not just due to the poor food choices, but because we are encouraging a sedentary lifestyle in America. Children used to run outside and play, but now that is becoming less common. Building playgrounds for kids will benefit their health and social skills. Also, by building these playgrounds within walking distance gives no excuse to parents for not allowing them to play due to safety reasons.
