Volunteers are restoring the Harmony canal in Nsukka; $400 covers saplings, tools and waste removal.

The Harmony canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This April, 56 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 108 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the local forestry office, 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 $400 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $185
• Tools and protective gear: $95
• Waste removal and skip hire: $70
• Signage and educational materials: $50

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Augsburg
More neighborhoods should do this. We're a small family in Bacoor but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Good luck, Uche. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Campinas this morning. All the best.
hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
