A youth football pitch for Unity Primary School: help our neighbors in Chiang Mai
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $800 for materials.
🇹🇭 Thailand1,059 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Unity Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $170, and the remaining cost is $800.
It will serve about 420 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $800 goes:
• Materials: $580
• Permits and inspections: $60
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $100
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Zaria!
So sorry you're going through this, Rattana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Palmira
is there anything that isn't money that would help Rattana?
Thank you. If you're in Chiang Mai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
Rooting for you. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Greetings from Cebu City.
Looking forward to the next update. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Bandung.
How is Rattana doing now?
Hope things get better soon, Rattana. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
wishing you peace. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. God bless.
You're not alone, Rattana. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you peace, Rattana. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Chiang Mai.
wishing you peace. More neighborhoods should do this. After 7 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Moscow.
Stay strong, Rattana. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Adelaide so I could bring a meal.
