Volunteers in Lagos are raising $650 for a sensory garden for children with autism at the Lotus community hall.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $650.
It will serve about 512 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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 $650 goes:
• Materials: $550
• Permits and inspections: $15
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $25
