A playground for the Baobab health centre yard: help our neighbors in București
Volunteers in București are raising $650 for a playground at the Baobab health centre yard.
🇷🇴 Romania723 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $650.
It will serve about 577 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $650 goes:
• Materials: $310
• Permits and inspections: $55
• Safety equipment and signage: $125
• Tools hire and delivery: $160
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone. Shared this with my family. After 25 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Springfield
Hang in there, Petru. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of București.
thanks for sharing this, Petru. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
