A solar-powered water pump for the Sycamore vacant lot: help our neighbors in Campinas

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,150. It will serve about 112 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $1,150 goes: • Materials: $780 • Permits and inspections: $70 • Safety equipment and signage: $165 • Tools hire and delivery: $135 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Wellington
