Davao City
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 321 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $650 goes: • Materials: $470 • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $75 • Tools hire and delivery: $75 I hope life is good to you.
