Let's build a playground together in La Plata
Volunteers in La Plata are raising $750 for a playground at the old Acacia bus depot.
🇦🇷 1900, La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina1,466 views
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Acacia bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 433 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $750 goes:
• Materials: $610
• Tools hire and delivery: $120
• Permits and inspections: $20
Thank you for reading my story.
