For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $550. It will serve about 119 people, including school children and their families. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $550 goes: • Materials: $440 • Safety equipment and signage: $60 • Tools hire and delivery: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Venkat

      You're not alone. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Gliwice donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
