Tlaquepaque
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,200. It will serve about 411 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $1,200 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $120 • Permits and inspections: $100 • Materials: $980 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
