A covered market stall space: a volunteer-led effort in Bangkok
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $1,050 for materials.
🇹🇭 Bangkok, Bangkok, Thailand1,101 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $1,050.
It will serve about 185 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $105
• Tools hire and delivery: $160
• Materials: $785
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Boonmee?
Hope it all works out, Boonmee. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Wish I lived closer to Newport so I could bring a meal.
Hope it all works out, Boonmee. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope it all works out, Boonmee. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer
You're not alone, Boonmee. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Lapu-Lapu.
