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

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $800. It will serve about 394 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in April 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 $800 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $390 • Safety equipment and signage: $320 • Permits and inspections: $90 Thank you so much.
