Pioneer Park needs a rainwater harvesting system - Popy's neighborhood project
Volunteers in Dhaka are raising $150 for a rainwater harvesting system at Pioneer Park.
🇧🇩 Bangladesh1,532 views
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a rainwater harvesting system. This year a group of 19 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 volunteer hours worth about $100, and the remaining cost is $150.
It will serve about 355 people, including school children and their families. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $150 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $20
• Safety equipment and signage: $55
• Tools hire and delivery: $75
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Popy
Wishing you peace, Popy. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Dhaka.
sending love, Popy. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
wishing you the best, Popy. Looking forward to the next update. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Takoradi donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Dhaka.
