In India, old tires are being transformed into playground equipment
Pooja Rai believes all children should have access to a playground where they can let their imaginations run wild, and through Anthill Creations, she s helping make this happen across India. Rai is the founder and CEO of Anthill Creations, and was inspired to start the nonprofit after seeing kids playing with trash and old shoes. Play shouldn t just be part of a rich, privileged kid s lifestyle, Rai told the
Christian Science Monitor. All kids have a right to enjoy their childhoods. Anthill Creations takes old tires â roughly 100 million are discarded in India annually â and after cleaning them and making sure they are safe to use, transforms them into swings, jungle gyms, tunnels, and sculptures. Since Rai launched Anthill Creations in 2016, the nonprofit has delivered tire playground equipment to 275 schools, public spaces, and refugee camps, and designed play spaces for blind children as well.

Their Facebook Live show, “Stump the Maestro,” tests Peter Fuchs’ memory of show tunes, jazz standards or movie scores he has learned after years of composing. Viewers try and guess the song that he plays in the first half and in the second, viewers submit a song to the couple to see if he can play it. The majority of the time Peter Fuchs remembers the songs, but every once and a while he and Veronica need to shuffle through their catalogs to be able to play the song.
