Let's build a repair café workshop together in Jerusalem

Volunteers in Jerusalem are raising $650 for a repair café workshop at Maple Primary School.

Jerusalem
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Maple Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 116 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $650 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $240 • Permits and inspections: $95 • Safety equipment and signage: $315 Glad we found this place. - Roi

    Hope things get better soon, Roi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
