Thane

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $400. It will serve about 510 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $400 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $30 • Materials: $290 • Safety equipment and signage: $80 Thank you for reading my story. - Kumar
