A playground: a volunteer-led effort in Cairo

Volunteers in Cairo are raising $350 for a playground at the Maple community hall.

Cairo
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple community hall, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $220, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 233 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $350 goes: • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $50 • Materials: $270 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Fadi

        Sending strength, Fadi. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

          Good luck, Fadi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Entebbe
