Lotus Primary School needs a community garden - Gonzalo's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $900 for materials.
🇦🇷 Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina248 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $900.
It will serve about 250 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in October 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 $900 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $110
• Materials: $720
• Safety equipment and signage: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this. Great idea, hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Love from Jaipur
Sending strength, Gonzalo. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Rooting for you, Gonzalo. Looking forward to the next update. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Rosario.
Thinking of you and your family, Gonzalo. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 17 people at work. Take care.
