A rainwater harvesting system for the Cedar community hall: help our neighbors in Pattaya
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $1,050 for materials.
🇹🇭 20109, Pattaya, Chonburi, Thailand2,732 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $330, and the remaining cost is $1,050.
It will serve about 194 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $1,050 goes:
• Materials: $740
• Permits and inspections: $85
• Safety equipment and signage: $90
• Tools hire and delivery: $135
Thanks for reading all this.
