Let's build a playground together in Salvador

Volunteers in Salvador are raising $850 for a playground at the Pioneer health centre yard.

Salvador
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $850. It will serve about 337 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in December 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 $850 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $55 • Permits and inspections: $70 • Materials: $725 With deep gratitude, Renato

  1. We're at 26% thanks to 6 of you. I met with the suppliers and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($526 in total) I made the first payment toward materials. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 56% now ($476). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
