The Lotus canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 106 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 160 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.
Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage.
Where the $250 goes:
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $35
• Native saplings and stakes: $120
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there, Rahayu. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
Take care, Rahayu. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
