Let's build a covered market stall space together in Santos

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Union bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $300. It will serve about 389 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $300 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Tools hire and delivery: $145 • Permits and inspections: $100 Thank you for reading my story. - João
