Tuxtla Gutiérrez
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple community hall, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $700. It will serve about 135 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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 $700 goes: • Materials: $440 • Permits and inspections: $55 • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Tools hire and delivery: $150 Thanks for being kind about this. - Guadalupe
