Let's build a youth football pitch together in Jalandhar
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a youth football pitch - we need $450 for materials.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 29 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $125, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 486 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in July 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: $280
• Permits and inspections: $35
• Safety equipment and signage: $45
• Tools hire and delivery: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

How is Amol doing now?
You're not alone, Amol. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. God bless
This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Love from Accra
Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out.
good luck, Amol. More neighborhoods should do this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
