Mysuru

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Lotus bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $250. It will serve about 228 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $250 goes: • Materials: $145 • Permits and inspections: $15 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $65 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Anand
