A skate park for Pioneer Primary School: help our neighbors in Ogbomosho

Volunteers in Ogbomosho are raising $150 for a skate park at Pioneer Primary School.

Ogbomosho
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $130, and the remaining cost is $150. It will serve about 177 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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 $150 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $45 • Permits and inspections: $25 • Safety equipment and signage: $80 Thank you for reading my story.

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($40 in total) I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Lucky

    Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      Hope things get better soon, Lucky. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up

        shared it with a few friends. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Ogbomosho.

          Great idea, hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Sacramento.
