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

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Jacaranda health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 201 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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 $450 goes: • Materials: $350 • Permits and inspections: $35 • Safety equipment and signage: $15 • Tools hire and delivery: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
