A covered market stall space: a volunteer-led effort in Buenos Aires

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $300. It will serve about 295 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 $300 goes: • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $115 • Tools hire and delivery: $155 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
