Faisalabad
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $85, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 310 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $350 goes: • Materials: $240 • Permits and inspections: $10 • Safety equipment and signage: $30 • Tools hire and delivery: $70 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Maryam

    Wishing you the best, Maryam. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Caruaru

      I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best!
