A playground for the Baobab community hall: help our neighbors in Berlin
A community-led a playground at the Baobab community hall that will serve 220 neighbors.
🇩🇪 Berlin, Berlin, Germany2,346 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,850.
It will serve about 220 people, including school children and their families. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $220
• Tools hire and delivery: $360
• Materials: $2,270
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone, Sophie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Hope this works out for you. Love from Jeddah.
Thinking of you, Sophie. Shared this with my family. Don't give up.
Thinking of you, Sophie. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Stay strong, Sophie. Shared it with a few friends. After 23 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
