Let's build a playground together in Nashik

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a playground - we need $550 for materials.

Nashik
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Sycamore Park, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $550. It will serve about 92 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November 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: • Materials: $420 • Tools hire and delivery: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $85 Thanks for being kind about this.

            Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 19 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
