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

Volunteers in Biratnagar are raising $500 for a youth football pitch at Jacaranda Primary School.

Biratnagar
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $185, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 213 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 $500 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Tools hire and delivery: $25 • Materials: $435 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Praying for you. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. We're a small family in Campinas but we're thinking of you. All the best.
