A playground for the Union health centre yard: help our neighbors in Chennai
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $450 for materials.
🇮🇳 India1,197 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Union health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 357 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $450 goes:
• Materials: $330
• Safety equipment and signage: $65
• Tools hire and delivery: $55
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending strength. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Wishing you the best, Rajeshwari. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Sending good thoughts, Rajeshwari. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Quezon City
Rooting for you, Rajeshwari. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Take care, Rajeshwari. Shared it with a few friends.
Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together
Hope things get better soon, Rajeshwari. Hope this works out for you. I hope July is when things finally get easier.
