Let's build a sensory garden for children with autism together in Marrakesh
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $850 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $150, and the remaining cost is $850.
It will serve about 534 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $850 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $80
• Materials: $720
• Safety equipment and signage: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thinking of you, Maryam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Cork.
