Paarl
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Unity health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 507 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in December 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: $45 • Materials: $380 • Permits and inspections: $75 Thanks for reading all this. - Kagiso

  • You're not alone, Kagiso. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Buffalo this morning.

    • Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. Love from Mumbai.
