Zaporizhzhia
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $300. It will serve about 545 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $300 goes: • Permits and inspections: $30 • Materials: $175 • Safety equipment and signage: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • wishing you peace, Roman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Johannesburg so I could bring a meal. All the best.
