A covered market stall space: a volunteer-led effort in Vitória da Conquista

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $800. It will serve about 92 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $800 goes: • Materials: $620 • Safety equipment and signage: $60 • Tools hire and delivery: $120 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
