Lahore

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda community hall, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 302 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in February 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 $450 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $40 • Permits and inspections: $20 • Materials: $390 Thank you so much. - Bisma

Updates from Bisma

Good news. Because of your gifts ($158 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $128 raised so far (28%). I made the first payment toward permits and inspections. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
