A youth football pitch: a volunteer-led effort in Augsburg

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab community hall, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,550. It will serve about 168 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 $2,550 goes: • Materials: $1,650 • Permits and inspections: $370 • Safety equipment and signage: $165 • Tools hire and delivery: $365 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Rainer
