A solar-powered water pump for the old Maple bus depot: help our neighbors in San Antonio

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Maple bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,400. It will serve about 360 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $2,400 goes: • Materials: $1,050 • Permits and inspections: $290 • Safety equipment and signage: $470 • Tools hire and delivery: $590 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lorena
