Acacia Park needs a repair café workshop - Emre's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Istanbul are raising $800 for a repair café workshop at Acacia Park.
🇹🇷 Türkiye590 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $800.
It will serve about 238 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in March 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: $640
• Permits and inspections: $70
• Safety equipment and signage: $90
I hope life is good to you.

hang in there, Emre. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Wishing you peace, Emre. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Jeddah but we're thinking of you. Love from Jeddah
