A youth football pitch: a volunteer-led effort in Antalya
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $750 for materials.
🇹🇷 Antalya, Antalya, Türkiye1,314 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Lotus bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 335 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $750 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $40
• Materials: $640
• Permits and inspections: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hang in there, Pınar. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted
Hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Udaipur
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Takoradi so I could bring a meal. God bless
Rooting for you, Pınar. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Mumbai!
