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

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $600 for materials.

Bucaramanga
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $600. It will serve about 169 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $600 goes: • Materials: $340 • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $125 • Tools hire and delivery: $105 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Jimena

    Sending strength, Jimena. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

      take care, Jimena. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Gujranwala

          Thanks for sharing this, Jimena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
