Nuremberg
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Baobab Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $720, and the remaining cost is $2,050. It will serve about 206 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $2,050 goes: โ€ข Materials: $1,250 โ€ข Permits and inspections: $150 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $185 โ€ข Tools hire and delivery: $465 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Claudia

  1. Quick update: $588 raised so far (29%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($368). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($255 in total) I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
