Volunteers are restoring the Cedar riverbank in Mangaluru; $400 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Cedar riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 63 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 56 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the city parks department, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $190
• Tools and protective gear: $110
• Waste removal and skip hire: $85
• Signage and educational materials: $15
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending strength. Great idea, hope you get there. Thinking of Mangaluru
Hang in there, Zahid. More neighborhoods should do this. Greetings from Bandung.
Wishing you peace, Zahid. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Best of luck, Zahid. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Mangaluru.
Best of luck, Zahid. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Mendoza so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Stay strong, Zahid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
