Mapo
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Freedom bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,950. It will serve about 324 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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 $2,950 goes: • Materials: $2,300 • Permits and inspections: $160 • Safety equipment and signage: $250 • Tools hire and delivery: $240 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Byung-hun

    • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. materials comes first ($2,300) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
