A rainwater harvesting system: a volunteer-led effort in Cleveland

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,250. It will serve about 452 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $3,250 goes: • Materials: $2,600 • Permits and inspections: $310 • Safety equipment and signage: $340 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Emiliano
