Lagos
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a sensory garden for children with autism. This year a group of 22 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 volunteer hours worth about $210, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 85 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in August 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: $65 • Materials: $330 • Permits and inspections: $55 Glad we found this place. - Ebuka
