Swansea
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $710, and the remaining cost is $2,000. It will serve about 238 people, including school children and their families. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,000 goes: • Permits and inspections: $100 • Safety equipment and signage: $100 • Materials: $1,800 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Thinking of you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Swansea.
