Let's build a community garden together in Gqeberha

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $1,200 for materials.

Gqeberha
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore community hall, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $230, and the remaining cost is $1,200. It will serve about 234 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $1,200 goes: • Materials: $970 • Permits and inspections: $55 • Safety equipment and signage: $85 • Tools hire and delivery: $90 If you're reading this, thank you.

        Hang in there, Annelie. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

        • Eliana Peters

          wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Da Nang this morning.

          • Silas L. Franklin

            Take care, Annelie. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best
