A community fridge for the Liberty community hall: help our neighbors in Sylhet
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $400 for materials.
🇧🇩 Sylhet, Sylhet, Bangladesh671 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $400.
It will serve about 109 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $400 goes:
• Materials: $260
• Permits and inspections: $35
• Safety equipment and signage: $15
• Tools hire and delivery: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending love, Alamin. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Surabaya but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Surabaya.
Wishing you the best. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Dasmariñas
sending good thoughts, Alamin. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Kawasaki this morning. Blessings.
hope it all works out, Alamin. More neighborhoods should do this. God bless.
Sending love. Great idea, hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Kano so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Sylhet.
Sending strength, Alamin. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted.
