Anywhere in the world5,157 views
The Baobab canal has been used as an informal dump for years. This July, 39 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 126 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 $2,700 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $1,300
• Tools and protective gear: $460
• Waste removal and skip hire: $690
• Signage and educational materials: $250

Good luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
How is Yoav doing now?
Keep going. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Salem!
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning.
Great idea, hope you get there. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from El Paso!
sending love. More neighborhoods should do this. God bless.
Hang in there, Yoav. Hope this works out for you. All the best
