A sensory garden for children with autism: a volunteer-led effort in Jakarta Selatan
A community-led a sensory garden for children with autism at Unity Park that will serve 201 neighbors.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Selatan, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,448 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Park, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 201 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $600 goes:
• Materials: $510
• Permits and inspections: $15
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $35
With deep gratitude,
Satria

Looking forward to the next update. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Jakarta Selatan.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Kampala this morning. Love from Kampala
Keep going, Satria. Great idea, hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Satria. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Sent it to 24 people at work. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Satria!
thinking of you and your family. Great idea, hope you get there. Take care.
Sending strength, Satria. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Coventry.
Keep going, Satria. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Satria. More neighborhoods should do this. Put this on a community board in Mandaue this morning.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from London.

So sorry you're going through this, Satria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Dundee.
Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Santos
