A playground: a volunteer-led effort in Cầu Giấy

Cầu Giấy
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 132 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $400 goes: • Materials: $240 • Permits and inspections: $35 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Tools hire and delivery: $85 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hậu
