Jakarta Selatan
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $220, and the remaining cost is $600. It will serve about 536 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $600 goes: • Materials: $470 • Permits and inspections: $15 • Safety equipment and signage: $35 • Tools hire and delivery: $80 I hope life is good to you. - Dewi

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dewi.

        Sure. The biggest one is materials, $470. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
