Let's build a sensory garden for children with autism together in Riyadh

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a sensory garden for children with autism - we need $550 for materials.

Riyadh
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, 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 $550. It will serve about 159 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in July 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 $550 goes: • Safety equipment and signage: $230 • Permits and inspections: $220 • Tools hire and delivery: $100 Thanks for reading all this.

    A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Riyadh. I'll ask around and let you know.

      So sorry you're going through this, Mahmoud. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Depok but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Depok!

        Thinking of you and your family, Mahmoud. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Madrid so I could bring a meal.
