Prayagraj
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 25 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty vacant lot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $55, and the remaining cost is $500. It will serve about 346 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $500 goes: • Tools hire and delivery: $65 • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Materials: $395 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 23% funded and the plan for tools hire and delivery is now scheduled.
