A solar-powered water pump for the Cedar community hall: help our neighbors in Vigo

Volunteers in Vigo are raising $1,450 for a solar-powered water pump at the Cedar community hall.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar community hall, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $1,450. It will serve about 148 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $1,450 goes: • Materials: $870 • Permits and inspections: $85 • Safety equipment and signage: $300 • Tools hire and delivery: $195 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Antonio

  1. Update from Vigo: the plan for tools hire and delivery is now scheduled. We're at 66% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Good luck, Antonio. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

          everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Vigo.

            Hang in there, Antonio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Vigo.

                      So sorry you're going through this, Antonio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. Blessings
