A skate park for the old Union bus depot: help our neighbors in Kumasi

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Union bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $165, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 211 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $500 goes: • Materials: $350 • Permits and inspections: $20 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $105 Every share and every dollar helps. - Jemima
