Baobab Primary School needs a free library and reading room - Gerardo's neighborhood project

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Baobab Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $700. It will serve about 498 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $700 goes: • Materials: $480 • Safety equipment and signage: $80 • Tools hire and delivery: $140 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
