A community garden for the Freedom health centre yard: help our neighbors in Quezon City

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $200 for materials.

Quezon City
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $200. It will serve about 96 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $200 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Permits and inspections: $100 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Samuel
