Seoul
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Acacia bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,050. It will serve about 423 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $2,050 goes: • Materials: $1,600 • Permits and inspections: $80 • Safety equipment and signage: $170 • Tools hire and delivery: $200 Thanks for reading all this. - Yong-jun
