A sensory garden for children with autism: a volunteer-led effort in A Coruña

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Harmony Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 412 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $500 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $210 • Permits and inspections: $150 • Safety equipment and signage: $140 With deep gratitude, Salvador
