Let's build a community fridge together in Bogotá
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community fridge - we need $500 for materials.
🇨🇴 Bogotá, Bogotá D.C., Colombia208 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community fridge. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Freedom bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 212 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in September 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $500 goes:
• Materials: $290
• Permits and inspections: $50
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $120
I hope life is good to you.

Best of luck, Salvador. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Kingston.
