Let's build a covered market stall space together in Quezon City
Volunteers in Quezon City are raising $550 for a covered market stall space at the old Baobab bus depot.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines2,145 views
For twelve 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 the old Baobab bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $550.
It will serve about 476 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $550 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $45
• Materials: $480
• Permits and inspections: $25
Thanks for reading all this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Erica.
You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Love from Warri.

How is Erica doing now?
Sending strength, Erica. More neighborhoods should do this. I hope May is when things finally get easier.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Erica?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about safety equipment and signage, advice is welcome too.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Lansing so I could bring a meal. Love from Chennai.
Take care, Erica. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Put this on a community board in Mangaluru this morning!
