Karachi
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 24 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Freedom bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $75, and the remaining cost is $100. It will serve about 575 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $100 goes: • Permits and inspections: $10 • Safety equipment and signage: $35 • Tools hire and delivery: $55 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Hina
