Hey,

I volunteer at an orphanage in Gumi. Check out my website http://www.devonscott.com for more info.
Anyway, the orphanage's swing set is in very rough shape and I'm trying to fix it. I've made minor repairs, but the seats are broken and I need to replace them. They are the standard, flexible black vinyl kind I see in every public park in Korea. I can't find them for the life of me though. My boss called the city, my building superintendent (we have a set outside) and no one has any idea where to get these things. Has anyone eevr seen them in a store or know where something akin to Home Depot would be in Korea? I'd appreciate any help I can get with this. If your hagwon has swings with these seats, could you ask your boss, or any korean friends to see if they might know where to find them. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I just took a skim through your photos & thats some really nice work youre doing. Bravo. Cute kids too.

Maybe if you talked to the maintenance/security guys at some larger apartment with a playground you could get some contact info about equipment.

If I lived nearer Gumi I'd certainly consider dropping in. Best luck in your endeavors.
