Pioneer Park needs a free library and reading room - Imad's neighborhood project

Volunteers in Giza are raising $350 for a free library and reading room at Pioneer Park.

Giza
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 28 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Park, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $350. It will serve about 148 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 $350 goes: • Materials: $150 • Permits and inspections: $50 • Safety equipment and signage: $55 • Tools hire and delivery: $95 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Imad

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Imad!

    • Imad Ali MansourOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. materials comes first ($150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.
