Let's build a playground together in Bucaramanga
Volunteers in Bucaramanga are raising $950 for a playground at Jacaranda Park.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Park, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $950.
It will serve about 403 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.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $950 goes:
• Materials: $710
• Permits and inspections: $75
• Safety equipment and signage: $40
• Tools hire and delivery: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Bucaramanga
Thank you. If you're in Bucaramanga I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Bucaramanga.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Makati
Thinking of you, Alejandro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
