Cedar Park needs a free library and reading room - Farhan's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a free library and reading room - we need $400 for materials.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan1,052 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $400.
It will serve about 132 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $400 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Materials: $330
• Permits and inspections: $30
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Mekelle donated after I showed her your page.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Southampton.
