We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a skate park - we need $550 for materials.

Jakarta Barat
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a skate park. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Liberty bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $110, and the remaining cost is $550. It will serve about 471 people, including school children and their families. 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 $550 goes: • Materials: $440 • Permits and inspections: $35 • Safety equipment and signage: $30 • Tools hire and delivery: $45 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Kartika
