A skate park: a volunteer-led effort in Hồ Chí Minh City

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 15 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 a pump, and the remaining cost is $150. It will serve about 107 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $150 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $55 • Safety equipment and signage: $45 • Permits and inspections: $50 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
