Gangnam
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a solar-powered water pump. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Park, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $2,650. It will serve about 157 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $2,650 goes: • Materials: $2,100 • Permits and inspections: $260 • Safety equipment and signage: $175 • Tools hire and delivery: $115 Thank you so much. - Ki-tae
