Let's build a covered market stall space together in Mysuru
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $600 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $600.
It will serve about 481 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $600 goes:
• Materials: $480
• Permits and inspections: $45
• Safety equipment and signage: $70
• Tools hire and delivery: $5

Hang in there. Shared this with my family. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Spanish Town.
hope things get better soon, Tanvi. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
More neighborhoods should do this. Thinking of Mysuru.
keep going. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I'll check back for the next update!
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Stockholm
