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

Volunteers in Port Harcourt are raising $300 for a sensory garden for children with autism at the old Acacia bus depot.

Port Harcourt
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Acacia bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $55, and the remaining cost is $300. It will serve about 274 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $300 goes: • Materials: $190 • Permits and inspections: $15 • Safety equipment and signage: $45 • Tools hire and delivery: $50 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Danjuma
