Lotus Park needs a playground - Paolo's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Quezon City are raising $450 for a playground at Lotus Park.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines1,201 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a playground. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Park, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $450.
It will serve about 135 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $450 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $45
• Materials: $330
• Safety equipment and signage: $75
With deep gratitude,
Paolo

Good news. Because of your gifts ($315 in total) I made the first payment toward materials. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
