Regensburg
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,900. It will serve about 323 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in September 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $2,900 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $390 • Materials: $2,200 • Permits and inspections: $310 If you're reading this, thank you.

  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Jinja donated after I showed her your page.

    • good luck, Sophia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

      • Sending good thoughts, Sophia. It takes guts to ask. Well done

        • Thanks for sharing this, Sophia. Great idea, hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Regensburg.

          • Wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Regensburg
