Let's build a covered market stall space together in Tel Aviv

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $3,250 for materials.

Tel Aviv
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. This year a group of 20 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, 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 $3,250. It will serve about 217 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $3,250 goes: • Materials: $2,550 • Permits and inspections: $175 • Safety equipment and signage: $310 • Tools hire and delivery: $215 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Keep going. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

        Hope it all works out. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
