For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 18 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony community hall, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $250. It will serve about 283 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $250 goes: • Materials: $135 • Safety equipment and signage: $20 • Tools hire and delivery: $95 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Rizky

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($114 in total) I made the first payment toward safety equipment and signage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
