For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Park, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $250. It will serve about 205 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $250 goes: โ€ข Permits and inspections: $20 โ€ข Safety equipment and signage: $75 โ€ข Materials: $155 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Lucky

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about permits and inspections, advice is welcome too. Good question.

  • Take care, Lucky. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne.

    • a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Lagos. I'll ask around and let you know

      • Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Raleigh
