Surakarta
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 375 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $500 goes: • Materials: $380 • Safety equipment and signage: $70 • Permits and inspections: $50 Thank you so much.

  • Stay strong, Gunawan. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too

    • more neighborhoods should do this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Surakarta.

      • Hope it all works out, Gunawan. Hope this works out for you. God bless

        • Best of luck, Gunawan. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Naivasha

          • Sending strength, Gunawan. I hope things turn around soon. After 20 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything
