Anywhere in the world1,663 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 420 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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 $350 goes:
• Materials: $210
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $55
• Tools hire and delivery: $30
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
