A playground: a volunteer-led effort in Port Harcourt

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple community hall, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 336 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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 $500 goes: • Permits and inspections: $30 • Tools hire and delivery: $70 • Materials: $400 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Sani
