Caxias do Sul
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore community hall, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 218 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $650 goes: • Materials: $330 • Permits and inspections: $110 • Safety equipment and signage: $115 • Tools hire and delivery: $95 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Luiz
