A covered market stall space: a volunteer-led effort in Da Nang
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $300 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Harmony Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $195, and the remaining cost is $300.
It will serve about 507 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in March 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: $190
• Permits and inspections: $30
• Safety equipment and signage: $30
• Tools hire and delivery: $50
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Thắng. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Port Harcourt.
you're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Da Nang.
Thanks for sharing this, Thắng. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Madina
I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Luxor
Hope it all works out, Thắng. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
