A sensory garden for children with autism for the Harmony health centre yard: help our neighbors in Colombo
Volunteers in Colombo are raising $450 for a sensory garden for children with autism at the Harmony health centre yard.
Anywhere in the world1,654 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 532 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $450 goes:
• Materials: $220
• Permits and inspections: $60
• Safety equipment and signage: $85
• Tools hire and delivery: $85
Glad we found this place.

Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Colombo.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Indika.
It's all in the list in the story. materials is the big one at $220, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Luxor this morning.
