The ‘Postbox Lockers’ are a practical solution to provide the kids with a space of their own and at the same time they serve as a sign to acknowledge the street children issue to the people of Durban. Having a personal postbox address enables the children to apply for identitypapers which they need to enter schools and to eventually become citizens again.
Other projects around the centre were ‘YellowL’, a horizontal blackboard table for personal expressions, the ‘Red Game Table’ with three different games engraved in it's surface, and ‘HowZit’, sitting-hammocks/swings, to create a less harsh environment for those who make use of the park and are not really catered for.
