A playground for the Sycamore health centre yard: help our neighbors in Rawalpindi
Volunteers in Rawalpindi are raising $350 for a playground at the Sycamore health centre yard.
Anywhere in the world584 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $350.
It will serve about 274 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $350 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $60
• Materials: $260
• Permits and inspections: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Arslan?
Sending good thoughts, Arslan. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Orlando donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Orlando.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
