Bekasi
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 458 people, including local farmers and market traders. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $650 goes: • Materials: $520 • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $60 • Tools hire and delivery: $40 Glad we found this place. - Zahra
