Let's build a youth football pitch together in Niterói

Volunteers in Niterói are raising $650 for a youth football pitch at the old Union bus depot.

Niterói
For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a youth football pitch. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Union bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $650. It will serve about 416 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: • Tools hire and delivery: $100 • Safety equipment and signage: $90 • Materials: $460 Every share and every dollar helps. - José
