The Harmony riverbank has been used as an informal dump for years. This May, 83 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 161 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good. We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist. The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade. All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials. Funds buy saplings, gloves, bags, hire of a skip, and signage. Where the $1,600 goes: • Native saplings and stakes: $610 • Tools and protective gear: $400 • Waste removal and skip hire: $510 • Signage and educational materials: $80 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Yuto?

    • Yuto TaniguchiOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Osaka I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.

  • Anna Costa

    Hope it all works out, Yuto. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Kai C. Wells

      Wishing you peace, Yuto. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. All the best

      • Eduardo Francisco Tavares

        hang in there. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.

        • Liliana G. ValdezQuestion

          how is Yuto doing now?

          • Gaurav R. Gurjar

            Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Wudil donated after I showed her your page. Take care.

            • Niklas Heinrich

              Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best

              • Ignacio C. Cortés

                Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Jakarta Selatan but we're thinking of you.

                • Chloe B. Davis

                  Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Mississauga.
