For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $195, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 553 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 $750 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $50
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Materials: $660
Thanks for being kind about this.

sending love, Nalini. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
