A community garden for Jacaranda Primary School: help our neighbors in Tema
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $300 for materials.

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 576 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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 $300 goes:
• Materials: $180
• Permits and inspections: $65
• Safety equipment and signage: $45
• Tools hire and delivery: $10
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Araba
Wanted to say thank you properly. 27% funded and the first invoice got paid this week.
Update from Tema: I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. We're at 15% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength, Araba. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tema
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about materials, advice is welcome too. Happy to explain more.
stay strong, Araba. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Tema
Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer
Keep going, Araba. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Narayanganj donated after I showed her your page
