Anaheim
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Freedom Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,100. It will serve about 237 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $3,100 goes: • Materials: $2,100 • Permits and inspections: $370 • Safety equipment and signage: $210 • Tools hire and delivery: $420 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Andrés

  1. Update from Anaheim: the plan for tools hire and delivery is now scheduled. We're at 20% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
