Jacaranda Park needs a rainwater harvesting system - İsmail's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a rainwater harvesting system - we need $800 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Park, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $800.
It will serve about 235 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $800 goes:
• Materials: $520
• Permits and inspections: $75
• Safety equipment and signage: $60
• Tools hire and delivery: $145
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong, İsmail. Looking forward to the next update. After 14 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Stay strong. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. It's not much but it's yours!
