Let's build a playground together in Buenos Aires
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $550 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $550.
It will serve about 423 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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:
• Tools hire and delivery: $80
• Materials: $340
• Permits and inspections: $130
Every share and every dollar helps.
