Acacia Primary School needs a covered market stall space - Beatriz's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $3,700 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $3,700.
It will serve about 484 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $3,700 goes:
• Materials: $2,900
• Permits and inspections: $200
• Safety equipment and signage: $170
• Tools hire and delivery: $430
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
