Lotus Primary School needs a covered market stall space - Liton's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a covered market stall space - we need $100 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a covered market stall space. 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 a pump, and the remaining cost is $100.
It will serve about 503 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $100 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $20
• Permits and inspections: $25
• Tools hire and delivery: $55
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Liton. Great idea, hope you get there. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Liton
Safety equipment and signage is $20 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Liton. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Thinking of you, Liton. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 11 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Savar.
Sending good thoughts, Liton. This could happen to any of us.
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out, Liton. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
